[QUOTE="buddy, post: 497463, member: 12886"] I dont doubt him at all. I just have never known one person, and I have many in my life (though not a parent so I can't put myself in your shoes) who has done it on their own or with weekly therapy... But I do know many who tried that at first. Most people relapse and we were told to expect that. THe motivation is there at first and then it wears off and the desires come back. But he had this huge dramatic thing that may be a game changer so I am praying it is for him. My dad did it on his own (drinking) and he ended up a dry drunk, had many of the same irrational behaviors but did not drink. Until we all went to counselling it was kind of rough at times. So it is wonderful he is willing to do the counseling. I think he is super lucky to have you as parents. He sounds like he is a good kid who really got caught up in it. I hope he can be strong and really work his program. Does he do any other activities, sports, biking, running etc... to help channel his energy and focus on healthy ways of living? [/QUOTE]
