[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 688776, member: 1550"] RN, yes, some people don't drink and if he isn't sober the rest of his life, he may fight addiction on and off. Alcohol kills MANY alcoholics and is unsafe for those who are. If he is already talking about using or drinking, I'd call it a danger sign that he doesn't realize that he is not like other people regarding substances. I think he has a long way to go. Benzodiazepines, like alcohol, are a depressant. Time will tell if he can drink responsibly or if he gets addicted to alcohol too. Some people can not drink without getting drunk. That is alcoholism. It's dangerous, like all drugs. And if you can't use one substance responsibly, you are often unable to responsible with others. Does he know he is an addict? I am just being honest about my feelings. I hope I don't sound harsh. I do not think he is of the right mindset yet. I sure hope I'm proven wrong. He HAS made some positive changes. Hope it all works out. [/QUOTE]
