[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 611894, member: 59"] I'm sorry your heart is so eavy. I hear dallt he right things too but in my heart I knew it was just words and I could feel that she wasn't going to live it. I can't say your son will do the same but the real test is when he comes home and hopefully goes into some type of aftercare program. If he can connect with other sober people and learn how to live sober he will do well. That's not to say he won't have slip ups but he will have the tools to get back on the right track. Sometimes they need to be knocked down again before they pick themselves up and decide not to fall. He is very young, it's hard for young people to understad that they can't do the things that some of their friends can do without getting into the same trouble. My daughter use to say all her friends drink and smoke pot why couldn't she. I hope the place your son is in is working on a home plan for him and helping you come up with your plan if he doesn't follow his plan. I know exactly how discouraged you are. But there is hope, it is a process. [/QUOTE]
