[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 539141, member: 3068"] I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I don't have much advice other than some form of treatment. My difficult child has relapsed a couple of times. He has finally found a psychiatrist that he has really connected with and inspires him. My difficult child has told me that going to meetings and treatment programs don't work for him. He says listening to everyone else talking about drugs and alcohol makes him want it more. He knows I love desserts, especially anything chocolate. He asked how I would feel if a bunch of people started talking about craving chocolate, brownies, apple pie, etc I understood his point. I'd probably stop at the nearest Dunkin Donuts on the way home. My difficult child needs one on one treatment. He likes to read books about people with addictions. I usually read them, too. We just finished reading "We All Fall Down: Living with Addiction" by Nic Sheff. In it, Nic says the same thing about his recovery attempts. Basically he cannot handle a group of people talking about drugs. It makes him crave them, too. Maybe your difficult child might benefit from one on one sessions. [/QUOTE]
