[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 681812, member: 19522"] Hi Worried, welcome to the site and so sorry for your need to be here. I googled Caseys' law and found it interesting. The theory is that some addicts involved in criminal acts are incarcerated and undergo substance abuse treatment involuntarily and become clean. I can see why this appeals to you. It is horrible to watch the transformation that occurs with our adult children while they are using. I agree with Lovemyson, that it could be a long shot. Most folks here, as you wrote, know from experience that an addict will not stop using, unless they see the need to. We all must do what we must do, to be able to look in the mirror. I understand the frustration and deep pain. I hope that you are able to work through this and figure out what is best for you. You referred to your counselors comment, about not having enough evidence. It is good that you are going to counseling. I did too and it was very eye opening and helpful. While you are looking for solutions, you may want to try also going to alanon, or reading about addiction and work on building yourself up. It is a hard road we are all traveling, dealing with loved ones using. Please be gentle and kind to yourself, you have value and you matter. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. We do understand the heartache of this. You are not alone. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
