[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 745988, member: 18516"] I believe for some people they are so afraid of succeeding that they will sabotage it. When we started having issues with my son and the judicial system, he had a few times that if he completed their program his record would have been wiped clean. It was always 2 weeks from completion and he would run away. I think on some level it's their lack of self esteem that can drive this kind of sabotage. Self esteem is something that comes from within each of us. I know a girl who was raised in the most loving home and was always praised for her accomplishments and yet she is the most insecure person. As for your son thinking he can get clean in Chicago, well, in his mind he probably believes it. I know from experience with my son over many years of him moving from city to city, town to town, state to state, he would always say things like "I hate this town, it's no good for me. Once I get to "wherever town" my life will be better" This is just flawed thinking on their part. It's as if they are just continually running from themselves and the truth. [/QUOTE]
