[QUOTE="witzend, post: 173729, member: 99"] Susan, you have indeed lost that person. It's like that addict climbs into your son's skin and speaks to you in your son's voice to try to trick you into helping him stay a junkie. I think you are right to tell him that he can not come home if that is the way he wants to live, but I think that there is a stronger way to word it, because that person in your son's skin will tell you he will change or can control it. Instead, tell him "You can't come back until you aren't living that way any more." Susan, seriously, he can't ever do xanax again. Saying that he will only take it with a prescription is a lie to himself and a lie to any doctor foolish enough to give it to him. Rush Limbaugh is a great example of this. He had one prescription for oxicodone, and got hooked, so he got 5 more, and [i]that[/i] is where he got in trouble. Cindy McCain is another example. She had prescriptions for percocet and vicodin, to which she became addicted. Eventually doctors stopped prescribing for her, and she stole drugs because she had the connections to do so. Just like them, your son got into trouble when he started to have problems getting the prescriptions and using them in a therapeutic way. You see, really, the legal problems often come when the doctors stop writing the prescriptions, or when the patient needs more than the doctor will write the prescription for. And it's not just people like your son, it's people that we all think that we know and that we all assume would never do anything like that. It's very easy to get into trouble with it, and very hard to get out. But neither Rush Limbaugh or Cindy McCain will tell you that they will ever get a prescription again, or try to tell you that they can keep it under control, because everyone knows that they can't control it. It controls them. [/QUOTE]
