[QUOTE="Carolita2, post: 673830, member: 19632"] Hi Sadflower..The first time my son stopped using he came to me and admitted he had a problem and said he wanted to stop..I was so angry at the time, I told him I didn't believe him..Surprisingly, he did make some changes that led to a period of sobriety. I always felt bad about my reaction especially because I later learned that he was sincere. But one thing I learned was that my negative reaction didn't change the course if his actions..He quit because he was ready at that time. Today I try and often succeed in my dealings with my son to be kind if possible..It doesn't mean I believe him but I can be supportive without changing my boundaries. Trying to put more focus on my own life always helps me, and knowing that whether an addict is,using or not is always revealed, eventually.. xox,Carolita [/QUOTE]
