[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 620021, member: 16859"] Thanks everyone. I do not have a sponsor, I attend Alanon once a week but I don't yet feel comfortable asking someone to sponsor me. I feel weird about it. My son does have a sponsor, but I don't think he's doing my son any good. He lives very far away from us (like 45 mins) and since my son doesn't drive it has been a hindrance since the beginning. Even when he told him about the relapse, his sponsor didn't put forth any effort to get him to a meeting, or go with him. Turns out my son has spent nearly $300 in the last 2 weeks. His account was nearly drained. I searched his room tonight and found 4 loose pills in his jacket pocket. I googled them, they're Triple C's. I hate that old familiar feeling of dishonesty, lying & sneaking around that has resurfaced in my household. I don't know yet what the plan is for my son. We're told it's a normal part of recovery. So when do you make the call to send them back to treatment?? The program he's in now is essentially Intensive Outpatient. It doesn't help that his drug of choice is a legal, OTC medication. Even if it was behind the counter, he turned 18 in Dec and can buy it freely as he chooses. I just don't know and it's SOOO hard to remain hopeful for his future. I'm a pessimist by nature. :( [/QUOTE]
