[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659283, member: 1550"] Please don't blame yourself. You meant well. He let himself down and needs to finish a rehab program and slowly get integrated into the world and hope for the best. Not all drug addicts need to go through all this, but many do. One of my mottos is "actions speak louder than words." Also, don't forget (and if you aren't aware do read up on his drug of choice) how HARD it is to get the need to take this drug, whatever it is, out of his system. A drug addict will have to learn coping skills he can use forever and, yes, relapse is part of healing. It is often easier for adult kids who are addicts to be in a safe place than at home and out in the world. That's where temptation lies. I would tell him this time his words mean nothing to you. Only his actions mean something. [/QUOTE]
