[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 247942, member: 84"] Missy, I'm a person who always needs a plan in place. So I agree it's a good idea. As long as you keep in mind what WhymeMom said about it usually takes several attempts at rehab before progress is made. Keeping a realistic viewpoint isn't easy, but it does prevent you from entering situations that would wind up hurtful. I'm going thru this with my best friend. She's done rehab twice for heroine. She's on her 3rd try, this time as an outpatient. While I want more than anything for her to succeed, I seriously doubt she will. So far....she's doing it for everyone else, not herself. And that winds up in failure just about everytime. So, like my kids, I praise her when she's doing well. And I do tough love when she isn't. I don't gloss over because she needs to hear the harsh reality. But I'm careful not to preach. The only time I tell her the blunt truth is when she asks. The rest of the time I pray for her and go on with my life simply because I can't help her no matter how much I want to. You son is one lucky kid. Someday he will realize that. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
