[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763720, member: 4152"] So glad to hear he is in rehab. It is hope. And hope is great. I've been to a few support groups. There were two successful stories regarding a bad addiction. But, then again, folks who have adult kids doing well might not continue to attend these support groups. I don't know. PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. The end results were good. But, it did shock me that one reported that their child had been in ten rehabs and the other reported t hat their child had been in eight. They took something from each experience. As well as life experiences along the way. One said that her daughter realized how much she had lost in life...milestone events that she couldn't participate in and so forth. So, again, things she learned in rehab combined with what was going on around her....losses in particular. For whatever reason, it sook many experiences to get to a much better place. I certainly don't know if this is the case for all or even many. But, I do suspect that more than one experience is often needed. This is soo difficult for all concerned. I took note that one mother in particular had gotten to the point that she no longer was invested in the success or not. Of course, hoped for the best. Turned to her spiritual beliefs. In her case...the eighth one seem to make the change for her adult child. It's very hard for all. [/QUOTE]
