[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 601973, member: 14557"] Sig: I was hoping some encouraging stories about rebellious and immature kids who don't even want to attend and who have benefited from twelve steps programs. Unfortunately I just don't see the approach a fit with my kid at least now that he is still so very immature and passive-aggressive. And because I'm a worrywart, I worry he may do something stupid just to rebel against the program and being forced to it. DDD: That of course would be fabulous, but I doubt difficult child would be yet ready to even consider that his experiences could help others and he could support them. Unfortunately it is more like him to try to ruin whole meetings. I of course truly hope he would try to be sincere, even if not share much, to listen. It could be extremely beneficial for him to understand how much others have struggled with the addiction and how devastating it really is. After all, difficult child has had quite easy recovery if you just look the addiction part. Meetings will be with townspeople. It is unlikely any of his new team mates have yet to developed gambling problem bad enough to make them GA members. The area seems to have two GA groups to choose from, both having meetings every two weeks. difficult child probably have to attend both at times to make that two meetings a month, his schedule will be varying like always.
