[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 69815, member: 97"] I wrote ant tons of letters while he was in jail. thing is he forgets it when they let him out. I like this exceprt from POTADA site: The following is a synopsis of a lengthy article in Al-Anon literature. Formerly, it was thought that it was necessary for a user to hit bottom, and become internally moved to seek help, as in the parable of the Prodigal Son. Since that person was not chemically influenced, he could come to his senses and rationally seek help. Typically, a user is so blind to the cause/ effect relationship between drug/alcohol use and unhappiness (and tragedy), that he blames anything but his chemical. Now it has been shown that a caring person can raise the bottom, or at least not allow it to be dug deeper. It is a loving thing to avoid babying the user. Sympathy is of no value; nor is a sentimental approach. To intervene is to confront the person with the facts of his illness, and the effects caused by drug use. [/QUOTE]
