[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 500198, member: 59"] I didn't know what synthetic urine was either until I found the bottle in my difficult child' s purse. Her friend ordered it for her online. He was sincere when he left rehab. Drugs and alcohol are very powerful. This disease is cunning, baffling and powerful. Thirty days in rehab is not enough to break their habit for good. My difficult child was in for 60 days and they wanted her to stay 90. After rehab most addicts go to sober houses to learn how to live sober now that they are sober. Getting sober is just the first step. It takes a lot more to stay sober and that means giving up all your old friends. That's why it takes more time and being in a different environment. He is doing all if the same things my difficult child did when she returned. An addict relapses an average of 7 times before recovery sticks. When I heard that I cried. I thought rehab was like an addictectomy. Boy was I wrong. We did the same thing you did just last year about this time. It was January and a snowstorm and she didn't come home and we locked the doors and the next day when she tried to come home we called the police to make her leave. It was another snowstorm and she had to call a friend and wait outside for an hour for him to pick her up in the freezing cold. It was a horrible night and husband and I cried all night. I thought she would die. She didn't. It took a year but she is sober today. One day at a time. Hugs, Nancy [/QUOTE]
