[QUOTE="Rina, post: 651721, member: 18848"] Welcome to the boards. I'm in a similar situation - 16 year old son, using whatever he can get his hands on. He's in a short-term rehab program now. I'm happy to hear your son has a sense of self-preservation - from what I hear, many addicts lack it, and it naturally makes their situation much worse. I hope you'll be able to continue offering consequences to drug use that would incentivize him to stay clean, and get him counseling to get to the bottom of the issue. My son has only one non-using friend, and they barely talk nowadays. Like you, I'm worried he'll just get back in touch with his using friends because he'll get lonely. Time will tell I guess.
