[QUOTE="DDD, post: 406594, member: 35"] Sorry, old friend. It has been such a long, long road. on the other hand he was able to function independently for quite awhile, he is more mature now etc....so, I am thinking optimistic thoughts about the next steps he takes. Sadly addiction is a life long problem. My Dad was an alcoholic who joined AA when he was probably around 40 or so. He never slipped. He made many late night calls to help those who did. He often spoke at AA meetings. BUT up until his passing at the age of 70 he would unexpectedly say "I'm going out for a few hours". Those were the times when he (and only he) realized he needed the company of fellow AA members. Recognizing the signs in yourself that vulnerability is knocking at your soul, having a safe haven of escape and then following through before the need grabs you....those seem to be the lifelong steps to sobriety. I'm betting your son will fall back and regroup his life. As always I am rootin' for your family. DDD [/QUOTE]
