[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 745971, member: 15032"] Being sober for a few days or weeks and being in recovery are two very different things. One has to commit to being in "recovery". Don't confuse the two. It does not sound like your son is ready to stay sober and work on his recovery. It takes something different for everyone to reach that point and unfortunately some never do. Anything you do for him is prolonging his disease though. We do some things we need to do to make ourselves feel better but the bottom line is that less is best. He needs to be uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. I think that we get desensitized by dealing with this over and over again. We pull ourselves away and protect our heart. That is probably the stage you are at now. I think it's a good thing. He will take you down with him and that won't do either of you any good. Prayers for your peace and that your son figures this out very soon and lives his life with meaning and purpose. [/QUOTE]
