[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 745984, member: 22877"] I just had a revelation. Going through a mental timeline of when my son started "relapsing/using again" I realized that just a day or two before that my husband had expressed to my son that he had changed for the better...more alert, more energetic (not in the way uppers act), more "alive" more positive, more upbeat, more pleasant, great sense of humor, I then recalled that growing up, every time I praised my son for some positive behavior, in no time he would stop doing that behavior. Is that a thing? Where someone stops doing Behavior X because someone else praised them for it? Wonder what the psychology behind that would be? [/QUOTE]
