[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 711656, member: 15032"] My son does not want to be homeless so that is one thing that we have going for us. He is in an IOP program as of yesterday. I hope this time he takes it seriously and gets the help he needs. He has been "binging" on and off for almost six years and it has completely prevented him from living a normal life. We kept thinking each time it was the last time and that it would get better. It never did for him or us. We kept thinking the light bulb would turn on. It didn't. He has two older brothers that are very successful and hard workers and my husband and I also set good examples so he has seen that all his life. Some people can use drugs recreationally and some cannot. My son cannot drink or smoke weed recreationally like many others his age and like I did at his age. I think that is a hard pill for a young adult to swallow. Nobody wants to be different. In reality, I do wish he was able to have a few beers now and then and who knows, maybe SOMEDAY he will be able to do that but not for a very very long time. I would never even say that to him. That is my denial I guess. Junebug if your son can actually get something out of the program he is in then that is good. It doesn't sound like he's committed to being sober though. I am not sure my son is either so I don't say that to you lightly. Sometimes they do what they think WE want them to do which appeases us for a while, but if it's not in their hearts it won't last. But on the other hand WE are not waiting for when he is "ready" any longer. We are done with his drama. [/QUOTE]
