[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 587384, member: 15801"] [FONT=Times]I totally agree with you! Alanon really has helped me get to a similar place. I think it really comes down to taking care of yourself and doing and taking the stand that helps you. So if not talking to your son until he is sober and getting help is what is right for you then it is the right thing to do![/FONT][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times] I also think that for many (probably most) addicts nothing really works until they want help and most dont get to the point where they really want help until they get to the point where their lives are not working...and so when we rescue them, help them, save them all we are doing is prolonging that point where they have strong enough motivation to get help. Thank you for sharing because it is a good reminder to me that we have been doing the right thing... my son is 21 and we have gotten tough and after many cycles of rehab and leaving etc. we let him be homeless for 5 months which eventually led him back to treatment and he is now living in a sober house. he is having some struggles but is making progress. i hope the rest of your family stops enabling your son and he gets help...do realize when that happens that the process of recovery is not a straight line.
