[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 558228, member: 59"] You are free to delete your earlier post if you are uncomfortable with it. Please don't worry about how that may make me look. If you have difficulty deleting it and would like me to do it I'll be happy to. You can edit the post to remove everything and just place a . in the field if you can't delete the post. I do think you are sincere about wanting to quit and wanting help. I still have a hard time understanding why your parents don't get it. Why don't you send them to this forum and have them ask this question:" my son says he is addicted to drugs and wants to go to rehab, what should we do?" We will tell her to run, not walk to find the best rehab for you and to not worry about school or tuition and that the only stigma is knowing you need help and not getting it. Recoverering addicts have a huge support group and a great deal of admiration from most people. I'm concerned that you are 23 and yet your parents still pick out your classes for you and make you stay in a hotel room with them in college town. I assume you stay there during the week only and go home on weekends? That seems like an extreme position to take. Also I wpould think that of you flushed all those little glass alcohol bottles down the toilet at some point they would float and your parents would understand the seriousness of the issue. How can you hide the smell of alcohol and pot from them if they are with you all the time? I truly am sorry that you are in such pain. I want you to get help. Having your psychiatrist speak to your parents is a great idea. I am still curious whether you have an AA sponsor. I do think that would help a great deal. Nancy [/QUOTE]
