[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 716438, member: 13303"] Your family will be in my prayers. I am glad your son is in a safe place, getting help. It is a roller coaster. Until they really commit to living a clean and sober lifestyle (which in my opinion, which I know not all share, includes the 12 steps) it is a never ending cycle. Even with recovery, there are no guarantees. My brother has two years clean after a relapse. Prior to that he had almost eight years clean. You just never know. It's all in their ability to cope with the worst life can offer without needing drugs to numb the pain. I can say though that recovery has not only saved my brother's life but transformed him from a typical drama and chaos creating addict to a reliable, trustworthy and dependable presence in my life and that of others. They do have to want it for themselves. My stepson continues his path. We know very little but I suspect drugs and alcohol there too. Can't worry about it. Won't help him OR me. Do you go to Al-Anon, family, a support group, anything for YOU? [/QUOTE]
