[QUOTE="klmno, post: 496958, member: 3699"] Sig, adult AA mtgs are that way but not all teen programs or meetings are. I think mrammler had a point- at least it would apply to my son and yes, he's required to go thru substance abuse, too. They will allow nicotine patches or whatever if a kid is really going thru nicotine withdrawal but there's no way in hades they would allow smoking because in this state, it is strictly enforced. Not to mention, it's enforced that it's illegal to sell cigs to minors or for an adult to purchase them for a minor. All situations, programs, states, etc are not the same- especially when you are dealing with some common differences in age groups. I don't expect my son to have the same mindset as a young adult who took himself into treatment at his age and situation. Just like with all difficult child issues, there is no 'one size fits all'. I think zardo and her husband came to a great solution for her son but I don't know her son's mindset. I sometimes get a grip on mine and I can tell you for sure, at his age right now and he's the same age as hers, if I allowed something after he made a statement like that, he would raise the stakes higher and higher. And with son's legal status, I most definitely would be charged. I heard in directly from policemen in our last jurisdiction. [/QUOTE]
