[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 693795, member: 20267"] I'm glad you are able to find something I say practical, and not just rhetorical. Being an adult does not mean that we get to do whatever the hell we want, just because we managed to survive 18 years. While you cannot control him, you can refuse to help him self destruct, and you can deny him of all of the comforts you provide for him. You pay for his :censored2:, he has no real right to it. If he wants to enjoy these things, he's going to have to make progress. He has no right to enjoy the benefits of YOUR hard work. You're doing the right thing by making his life style as uncomfortable as you legally can. The sooner he hits his bottom, the sooner progress can be made. You didn't push him into this hole, but he knew better than to dick around next to the hole. One day at a time is a familiar mantra. Actually, when I stopped my Suboxone treatment, I was struggling to do 1 hour at a time. Something odd happens to you when you do not sleep for a few days straight. Time creeps to a crawl, and the loneliness is suffocating in it's intensity. Having to be awake while everybody else gets to sleep. That is a LOT of free time. As bad as the experience was, I am glad I suffered it. I needed to feel all the consequences of my decisions. As does your son. [/QUOTE]
