[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 496870, member: 59"] So you have a plan, good. I fear that he called to apologize because he knows he's getting out tomorrow and needs a place to go. So stick to your plan because you know an addict is lying when their lips are moving. I don't want to be pessimisitic but what Fran said is right. You need to make it clear to him that you will help him as long as he will willing to help himself, but that you will not tolerate his previous behavior in your home, period! We had to ask our difficult child to leave our house when it became clear she was not following her recovery plan. It was not easy or pleasant and resulted in a few months of freefalling into alcohol/drug use but in the end she reached out for help. We stood firm and would not let her back in our home, but did help her in her recovery effort elsewhere. Your son will not acknowledge he has a substance abuse problem and until he does nothing will change. Nancy [/QUOTE]
