[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 238467, member: 1550"] "Let go and let God." I used to have to think of that when I was shaking and crying, thinking of my daughter after one of her three big accidents (and it wasn't even her car and she had no license.) We couldn't help her--she was of age. She owed $7,500 to some women she hurt in the accident and is still paying on that even after six years of being sober. Every day I worry that she'll relapse. Every day I say the Serenity Prayer. You can not do anything for your son anymore except let him hit rock bottom (again) and hope that is enough to motivate him to truly seek out help. But when they are ready, they are. My daughter did it without so much as one AA/NA meeting. She wanted to quit so she did. When he's ready to do it, he will. Sometimes I think nagging them makes them even worse, so I learned to bite my tongue, even as I cried. If not, I heard, "Your nagging me makes me want to get high!" Ya can't win for losing .
