[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 694403, member: 15032"] In A Daze: This is my son too. He is in rehab but never as bad as the others. I'm not buying it anymore after his overdose though. I think I needed this to happen to make me stronger when I deal with him which is much needed because he has a very strong personality. Maybe addicts just do I don't know. I got a text from his house manager on Saturday that my son "walked out". He walked to the IOP house where his car is. He has no keys. It's OUR car. It was 105 degrees. The staff members did talk him into returning. I asked that he call us and his dad talked to him about staying in the program and the car and how he is not getting it back until he works and pays the two tickets he got on his "day of reckoning" (overdose and two moving violations). He told him he needs to stick with the program so he can move forward. I later told my husband that instead of focusing on his car situation, he needs to focus on the fact that the DRUGS cause him to do these things. That is the root of the problem. That is what caused the two moving violations. Yesterday my son called me but I had his dad answer it. He really talked to him about the drug use and how that has ruined his life and broken so many relationships. He also told him that he found that he had gotten into our safe and sold his grandmother's wedding rings for drugs. My son didn't want to talk anymore after that. Everything is so negative right now. I am not sure if this will help my son see that he does need the help they are offering him or just dig his heels in even further. [/QUOTE]
