[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 483716"] Thanks for all your responses..... So right after i sent this post he called us collect. Didn't have his phone because he left that and all his id at the sober house. So I did call back the sober house to have them go and give him his stuff. He asked me about going back to detox.... and I told him he would have to call them. (which is one reason I made the call for his phone which he did get back). He then called me because he was having trouble getting their number from 411..... so I gave him the number. A few mintues ago he texted me that he was on his way there. He apologized for letting us down each time. I told him he was letting himself down and i hoped this time he would get honest about his issues and also really face his drug addiction. So at least I can sleep tonight knowing he is safe. I know the sober house guy feels we should really be hard on him and not help him at all... even with tx. I just cant do that. I can't turn my back on him when he is looking for treatment, even if he is doing it as a crutch and for a decent place to sleep. It does seem like each time he is the one asking for help and he gets a little closer to bottom each time. And I am thankful that he calls us when he is desperate. Nancy.... I don't know if he is in withdrawel or not. I think a lot of his behavior has to do with his defiance issues and i am going to do it my way and what I want etc.... however it is clear that emotionally he is very much addicted to drugs... as he was desperate to deal with his feelings with drugs. He told me tonight he doesn't know why he does those things... and I said you stole money to go buy spice, do you think this is the behavior of a drug addict? Anyway I agree he needs to be inpatient... and hopefully they will help him this time. I know the sober house won't take him back this time and personally I don't think they should. I really think coming back up here for court set him back too... a week with the girlfriend who I think then broke up with him did not help him at all!!!! Now however court is done and he does not need to come back here for anything. TL [/QUOTE]
