[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 751892, member: 22877"] I now think he wasn't being totally honest with me about the relapse. I do feel like he may be using again but I really don't know the extent or what substance(s). His drug of choice prior to recovery was meth. He told me the the relapse after his brother's death was cocaine and alcohol. Whether he's gone back to meth or not I am not certain. It makes no sense to my why he would want to go to Chicago for rehab, where he had several unsuccessful attempts, when there's a wonderful program right there in St. Augustine where he had amazing success...up until now at least. Something's not adding up there. And we cut the purse strings months ago. When we flew him down here we told him if he went back to Chicago he had to get there on his own. We also told him that once back in Chicago if he decided to come back here or go somewhere else he's on his own with that as well. Then when we helped him catch up his rent at the recovery home we told him that was the last significant amount of money we would spend on him. I'm pretty sure his finances are in the toilet yet again, but surprisingly he hasn't asked for help. We had decided that we would not ofer help with his rent and/or phone bill but that we probably would one time if he he asked us. But he never did. I'm kind of proud of him for that, but I don't think there's much else currently to be proud of. [/QUOTE]
