[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 572174"] I too know too well the pain of what you are going through. I have been there. I have no answers for you except that I agree find a good support group such as an alanon parents group. It is a huge help to meet other good parents who have kids who are addicts..... it helped me to remember my sons addiction was not my fault and i cannot cure it and I cannot control it. I wish I had an answer for you but what I have discovered is there are no good answers. Until they want to get sober there is not a whole lot you can do. You can try doing some kind of intervention. If you have other kids, especially younger kids in the home, make sure you take care of them and especially keep drugs out of your home. My 21 year old son is currently on his own living across the country and is homeless after walking out of a great treatment program. He knows we will support him going into treatment but after many treatment programs he really needs to do this his own... we cant do it for him. TL [/QUOTE]
