[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 694206, member: 20267"] If he is dead set on making this wrong decision, there is very little you can do to stop it. And it isn't that he isn't ready to be clean. ALL addicts are ready to be clean. If there were a button in front of us that will magically fix us, we'd push it. Only a crazy person would enjoy the life of a junkie. When we become addicted, we no longer use for fun. It isn't recreational, it is necessary. We cannot function on even the most basic level without the drugs. We continue to take them because we have to, at least in our own minds. I am sure he wants to not be a drug addict. He just isn't comprehending that there is only one way out of it, and that is complete surrender of our pride and stubbornness. He will eventually figure out that the way out is not the direction he keeps trying. It's a matter of acceptance more than desire. He is still clutching to his pride. Pride is the sin. And the only cure for pride is humility. [/QUOTE]
