[QUOTE="cap66, post: 539412, member: 14879"] Wow, I came hear looking for help - very similar situation. My son is 18.5 and just graduated HS. VERY high IQ, a&B studetn in school, but has always been oppositional. Has been on medications for ADD since 12. He was very involved in out-of school athletics at an elite level until Jr year. We found out late in 2011that he has been smoking port for almost 2 years. promised to quit and actually think he id However he has been caught with pop, pipes, lighters etc. - multiple times over last 3 months by husband or I or both. Husband had latent alcohol abuse issues and I was treated for shopping addition. I have been 'clean' - no credit card binges for 2 years - husband has been mostly sober for 3 years. I am worried that he is slipping as work pressures are ridicuolouly high. I have found son's weed and bongs 3x in last 10 days - that I have not told husband about as I am worried about him going over the edge. Son see counselor, but does not seem to want to or have any incentive to quit smoking. He has smoked in our house - while alone and with 13 yr old son in other part of house he is not a bad kid, just that i see this habit controlling him. He is supposed to go away to big 10 school in fall and frankly - I am worried that he will blow everything, money, opportunity, etc. Any suggestions on where to start? [/QUOTE]
