[QUOTE="Steely, post: 347959, member: 3301"] Do you think my plan is the right way to go? I have thought so much about it, trying to stay completely detached, and look at it every way possible, and I keep coming back to him needing to be on his own. He has no concept of the real world, because he has been in programs or at home his whole life. He needs real life consequences, like no food, cigarettes, or electricity if he chooses not to get a job, or gets fired. No internet, or tv, unless he makes enough money to afford it. You know what I mean? I think he probably assumes all tvs come equipped with cable!!! He just doesn't get the world as it relates to him and his choices (but obviously he understands enough about survival to get dope after being in a city only a couple of weeks). But I want to make sure I am making the best choice, because the program thinks he should stay in treatment (of course they do!). But treatment will not work unless the person needing it accepts that they need it. [/QUOTE]
