[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 610013, member: 59"] Oh boy Christine, we have all been through the enabling game. But today is the day you stop. Your need to stop saving him. Maybe he needs to be on the street for a while until he decides to get help. This is where tough love comes in and they don't call it tough for nothing. There are several of us who have had to kick out kids out of the house knowing that they could get worse or die but also knowing that they were going to die anyway if they cotinued on that path. It sounds like you live on the coast somewhere. Do you have sober houses in your area that will take people with no money? Does he have insurance that will cover treatment? It's time to make some tough decisions. [/QUOTE]
