[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 483865"] I think he said detox because at the program he was at everyone goes to the detox section first... so they are looking at the physical and mental issues for anyone first coming in. I think he has a very strong need to avoid feeling pain and I think the girlfriend broke up with him again and so he was desperate for anything to stop the pain.... to me that is not really a physically addiction in that I don't think he would go through physical withdrawel.... but it is a strong psychological addiction and definitely, no question the behavior of a drug addict... I don't think pot or spice would cause a physical addiction. Of course it is totally possible he got something else somewhere along the line. I really don't know how serious he is. Last night it was 9 at night and he had no where to go and had no idea what to do. So he thought of detox at the rehab he had just been too... he thought detox because he knows that is the first stop at that program. I do think it is a good program and he made progress last time... but he has got to be willing to do the hard work to get better and that is going to mean letting himself feel the feelings he is trying so hard to avoid. Nancy you are not being harsh... you speak from the voice of experience. I do hope that somehow this time he will do what he needs to do to get better. I do think he sees that he has a problem which is a start. TL [/QUOTE]
