[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 758418, member: 23706"] From long experience and education, he walked out for one reason: he is an alcoholic who wants to still drink just like my kid is not ready to give up her substance. For your son, a crowd of people or a girlfriend will not make him sober. It has to be his will, his desire. Nobody outside of him can help him get sober. Your worry won't help him. He has excuses why he won't quit. Kay did too. The bottom line is that they don't want to. People quit abusing substances every day. It is possible. But they have to want it. Please don't ruin YOUR life. Do restrict when he can call. Stop sending money when he says he wants to fly home. Stop enabling him and do be kind to YOU. YOU deserve peace. Step away. He is a man. He has to do this himself. Or not. There is nothing you can do for him, but your husband and you can do a lot for yourselves. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
