[QUOTE="DDD, post: 450485, member: 35"] "Not sure what to do" describes how all of us with addicted loved ones feel. Every family has to find a path that they feel is best and then stick to it. It is literally impossible to make an addict choose to lead a substance free life. Sometimes with an intervention and an immediate plan of available treatment it works....sometimes it doesn't. I don't know how old your relative is or if he has suffered any consequences for his choices. The theory is that most have to "hit bottom" before they embrace the healthy lifestyle. Some addicts hit bottom when faced with homelessness, get picked up and put in jail, feel physically sick all the time etc. Some addicts don't hit bottom no matter what the situation and opt to continue with their poor choices. Reading the posts (old and new) you will get a comprehensive picture of how others are trying to cope. I wish you all the best of luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
