[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 657479, member: 13561"] Well, I spoke to him on exgf's mother's phone last night. He was in an altered state, of course and his first "demand" was that I overnight him 2 Xanax because he was in a really, really, really, bad state and needed them. Ridiculous! I said that he needed to go to an ER if he was that badly off. He said he wanted to come back here and he would go to one of the missions here-the one he talked about is one of the worst and is notorious for being rampant with drug use. The area it's in is also very rough and drug dealers and addicts are everywhere. I asked him if he knew he had a place there and he said no. He then mentioned the other mission where he had done very well, but he was asked to leave the SECOND time he went back (it obviously didn't stick) because they felt he was abusing medications(which I don't think he was supposed to be on anyway). I asked how he knew they would take him and he said "Well, it's a Christian place-isn't that what they're all about?" . So I said that basically he was coming here without any kind of plan and how did he think he would live? (It was a rhetorical question). I said that I couldn't help him and he said he wanted to be here and wouldn't even contact me when he got here. Hmm... He told the exgf's ma that he wanted to leave Colorado because he feels he is going to drink himself to death there. But he does that anywhere he goes... He has access to his father's bus but is trashing that, too. So exgf's ma said she wouldn't help him live his life this way-drinking, drying out and then going straight back to the drink. She said he would have to live that life on his own. She dropped him off at detox and will pick him up, then they can talk about a plan. If it involves getting clean, seriously, she will help, but if not, then no. She has already gone beyond anything I cold have imagined, but is now reaching her limit and who can blame her? He has consistently shown her that his promises are empty and that he will take everything that anyone can give. The thing is that he doesn't HAVE to drink himself to death. He could take Campral, Antabuse, get a Vivitrol shot that lasts a few months, to reduce the cravings. Go to AA meetings, make some connections and get support from those who know. BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO. Sorry, I know I'm raving-just trying to process as I write. [/QUOTE]
