[QUOTE="mof, post: 704477, member: 20533"] Very similar to our story. First off...no money at all...he cant have it. No driving...none. Wants school? If no...don't force it. I would recommend rehab. yup, at least the basic 28 days. Celebrate recovery...I get it, I work in ministry...but he needs more than that. Seriously...our son laughed at celebrate recovery...he needs to be in NA or AA...hear stories from drug addicts. Even if he thinks they don't relate...therapy with someone who specializes in addiction. Have him go to as many as support groups as possible. You can't make him sober...it's scary...your son is a drug dealer and user, so was ours...it's awful. Now you know....now you take the next step. I would see a psychiatrist for him...he may need antidepressants...for now. You will always worry, I do everyday and he lives with us! Your love and support for him will go far...but it's all him in recovery. Our son said we are all in recovery...some extent that is true. It is a journey.... Praying for you and your son...you sound like you all have great support..hugs [/QUOTE]
