[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 330391, member: 1233"] I don't think you really "get" AA and alcoholics. An alcoholic does not go to AA as a "maintenance" program. They go because every single day they want a drink. Every. Single. Day. NOT to "maintain" a level of therapy, but because they KNOW that they NEED ongoing therapy. They don't work the 12 steps once and then "maintain" it with regular meeting. They go through those 12 steps over and over. I don't really have an opinion as to what you should or shouldn't tell difficult child. You are his mom and know far more about his maturity levels and the situation. You need to do what you are comfortable with. [/QUOTE]
