[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 556026, member: 59"] I would start by having a conversation with him and asking him about it. You really don't have any idea how much he is smoking or drinking at this point and even if it is a concern or just a phase trying to fit in. Is he working or going to school? If you haven't noticed anything different about him then this is probably not something that will be a huge problem. But, and this is a big but, you need much more information about what is going on and so do we in order for us to even talk about your concerns. How are his friends? Are you concerned about who he is hanging around with and what they are doing? Are these the same friends he has had growing up? How is your relationship? Does he continue to do things with you or does he want to be alone or with his friends? Are his grades slipping if he is in school or is he having problems at work? We really need a lot more information about the situation. It could be nothing or it could be the slippery road to serious problems. In any case you are right to be concerned and seek out help.
