[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 633076, member: 15801"] Ok I think there is one more thing... and that is the love and support of family. It is absolutely no guarantee...but I think addicts have a better chance in recovery if they have family who love and support them. I realized one time that my son was in jail, that the only thing that might (and I stress might) keep him from becoming a hardened criminal was the love of his mother!!! I do think loving them and letting them know you love them makes a dfifference. BUT it also means at times loving them from afar... and it definitely does not mean enabling them. So to me when COM says leave them alone... that means, letting them be. It is not our role to control them, to fix them, to make them get into recovery. All of that is up to them. But I do think it is in our role to still love them. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
