[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 540694"] As far as going back on your word.... well it is hard but at the same time you have to do what you have to do. I think we have all been taken by surprise and said and done things we wish we hadn't... sometimes you have to rethink and regroup. If you think it is safe enough for him to work with an outpatient therapist and then do rehab if that doesn't work then do that.... I worry about his safety though. If you do go that route I would write a up a very clear contract for him, with the consequnce being rehab. And stop blaming yourself. I know that one too... many of us do. One of the things they say in alanon is the three C's you didn't cause it, you cant cure it and you cant control it... and that is very very true. You did not pour booze or drugs down his throat, those are his decisions, and he is the one choosing not to get help. TL [/QUOTE]
