[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 590591, member: 12490"] I spoke to the po about the forms for AA and she didn,t know what I was talking about - she more said he should get a sponsor and give her his name a nd number so she can check with him - he is very opposed to getting a sponsor. We'll see - not my problem. I will just make sure he checks in with po frequently. Him missing the first call with her does not send a good message. He has found a young persons meeting near the house - problem is its only once a week and he needs to go at least 3 times per week....we'll see. Yes - I agree that I cannot do this for him. I am trying to let this be his problem. I go to my support group - talk to my counselor and post and read here. We are giving him limited freedoms and privileges as I also feel that having him under lock and key is not the way for him to move forward in life - he has to learn how to live a healthy life and make good choices - not only because we are preventing him from making mistakes. If he makes the mistakes, he needs to get caught so that he feels the pain involved in that life. your advice about the meetings makes sense - for tomorrow night's youth meeting - I will have him bring a journal and ask the moderator to stamp and sign it - that way we are starting to build the proof that will be required. I think it will also help to show him that his has to prove his attendance because right now I think he just thinks no one can find out if he's going. [/QUOTE]
