[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 606247, member: 59"] I didn't mean any disrespect suzir and like I said I know nothing about GA. I am basing my comments on AA and NA. Those who go to AA and NA and are faking it usually don't stay very long, just long enough to fulfill their court requirements. They do not contribute or share and can negatively affect those around them that are struggling. If they do have a sponsor they are wasting their time when they could be helping someone else. You made the comment that you hoped it would not damage him more. I'm not sure what you mean by damage but if you mean he will relapse I dont think it's fair to blame the group that he faked his way through. If he acquired all those tools previosuly they must not be working either. I've been through this with my difficult child, pretending she bought in when all she really was doing was getting them off her back so she could do what she wanted in the end. I could have blamed the residential treatment center with introducing her to knew ways of hiding drugs and more drug contacts, but it isn't the program's fault, it was hers for not wanting to change. Like I said I know nothing about GA and it may be very different, but I don't see how the program can damage him either way. [/QUOTE]
