[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 82554, member: 3647"] Hello and welcome. You have gotten some very sound advice. I would just like to add that no person, child or adult, will accept help for a drug problem until and unless they are ready to admit that they actually HAVE a problem. You can try to force it on him all you want, he can go through the motions, but do as he pleases as soon as he is out again. Tough love is a difficult thing to practice. But it is essential. Stop bailing him out and let him face natural consequences. Or, see if you can find a locked facility so that you can have some peace of mind. You have my sympathies and my prayers. [/QUOTE]
