[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 552432, member: 59"] Suz that isn't how it usually works with alcoholics or drug addicts. When they relapse they don't usually have a few beers for a couple weeks and stop or get back on the wagon, it is usually a full blown relapse that often sends the addict into a tailspin. I have heard this over and over from so many addicts and is why I am convinced that a drug/alcohol addict can't drink or take drugs socially and stop when they have had enough. The chemical dependancy part makes that impossible. It would be wonderful if that were the case. My difficult child thinks she can drink responsibly but has lost four jobs in the past year and has stolen from her employer and has almost been evicted for non payment of rent and is now involved with sugar daddies to provide her money. I never though life was over if she relapsed. Even in rehab they told us to expect that and the addict has to tools to use to get back on track. But if one relapses over and over again, there is no sobriety, just some spaces in between when they don't use/drink. Nancy [/QUOTE]
