[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 552475, member: 13882"] What has worked so far for my difficult child is one-on-one weekly psychiatrist sessions. difficult child outright rejected NA because he's not a "group" person either, like Insane's brother. However, the sessions with the psychiatrist BEFORE difficult child was ready to quit were a waste of time and money. While he was in the psychiatrist's office once, I was holding his phone, and his friends were texting him to hurry up out of the dr.'s office because they wanted to meet him to get high! I literally almost vomited in the waiting room. Only after difficult child wasn't permitted home for the Christmas holiday last year, and after he bombed out in school and he saw what a mess he was making of his own life, and how he was slouching toward irrelevance, did he suggest seeing psychiatrist again, and has been clean so far. (Now he's away at school out of state, and psychiatrist is here. That's the problem, but we're working on video chats if necessary.) I have to say that it's a hard road for anyone who has an issue with (fill in the blank here.) My easy child has a weight issue and eats "her emotions." We even went to a gastric bypass info session at the hospital, but she doesn't qualify - not heavy enough lol! but even people who have had surgery can undermine it and not lose much weight even with medical intervention. Everything is truly a lifelong struggle of self control over short term reward. [/QUOTE]
