[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 277005, member: 1550"] I think it's good he'll be getting help. I think he is using more than pot. My ex-drug addict daughter has a motto: "Never trust a drug addict. They will stare you in the eyes and lie to you. It's what they do." I can't imagine pot motivating your son to pawn those items from under you. If son doesn't want to quit, even a good program won't help him. This is a big "wait and see" time. Again, drug users/addicts (whichever he is) LIE. So I hope it helps him, but it's really all in how badly he wants to quit. When my daughter wanted to stop, it didn't take a drug rehab. She just stopped. She was highly motivated and did it on her own. I'm not saying every child can do that, but when they want to stop they will--much as a smoker will finally stop smoking, as hard as it is, when he is REALLY motivated. But he will still steal that cigarette in the bathroom if he isn't motivated enough. I hope your son really wants to quit and can do it! This requires changing his friends. You can really tell if he's serious if his friends change. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
