[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 451364, member: 59"] Welcome Blondie, Yep you have found the right place. I have a 20 yo daughter who is currently living in a sober house. She spent last summer in a substance abuse residential center. All it did was give her more drug contacts. We finally did kick her out and she spent three months living with a neighbor boy who supplied an endless amunt of alochol and pot. She finally said she wanted to come back home and we said no, but that she could go to a sober house and she did. Our story is very much like yours. We tried everything and nothing worked until she wanted the help. Glad to put your foot down about pot in yourhome. Also we got rid of all alcohol and no one drank in the home while she was there. I hate to say it but your son will not get help until it hurts too much staying this way. He may lose his job, our's did. He may spend all his money and go into debt. He may get arrested and have to go to jail. We been through it all and still each day is not guaranteed. We live one day at a time. It is much easier with her not living here. She now has to make it on her own. You may have to draw the line in the sand and decide what you will put up with. Make sure if you draw that line you stick to it. Our daughter's main problem was drinking and smoking pot. We are lucky she never got into more serious drugs. It's difficult because alcohol is so prevalent in young people and they have to learn how to live without it and they haven't even gotten old enough to drink it legally. I've been where you are at, so have all the other members on this forum They have been a tremendous help to me and they will be to you also. Hugs, Nancy [/QUOTE]
