[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 630920, member: 17542"] Hi Lil, thanks for the background. I am sorry about your ex-husband. That is very tragic, any way you look at it. My son is obsessive too---as a child he collected lots of different things. He would focus strongly on that thing and really drive us all nuts until he added the next thing to his collection. Beanie babies was one of them. We have black trash bags of BB in our attic today. I wish the darn things would come back and be worth something. I could retire. :) I understand your hope here. And unfortunately, I also have "been to school" on addiction. There is no cutting back. An addict/alcoholic can't use substances. At all. Of any amount. If you haven't read it already, Lil, When the Servant Becomes the Master is a really good, recent book, written by a recovering MD. Was published in 2012. Good A to Z on addiction, from the brain chemistry to the behavior to the treatment. Good support for families. I understand. Hang in there. We're here for you, no matter what you do or don't do or what he does or doesn't do. [/QUOTE]
