[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 495779"] I hope so Kathy... he has gotten there before. He spent 2 weeks in jail and that did it for a time. He was homeless last summer while we were away and that did it....but I really think all the treatment he has sought has been to get out of jail and being homeless and not really facing his substance abuse problems. So we need to let him really feel it and unfortunately it may mean him getting deeper into the harder drug use before he realizes that the drugs will ruin him. My fear of course is that he won't survive this.....but i have to hold on to the fact that there is at least a big part of him that wants to survive and will find his way.... but yeah I am going to need that warrior mom armour. I wish I could compartamentalize things like my husband.... I have such a hard time doing that. I know I need to find some major distractions this weekend because that always helps. One good sign for me is that I went to my weight watchers meeting this morning and forgot my phone!!! Forgot it so that is a good sign!!!! And I lost 2 pounds as I have been making a point not to eat over this as a way to keep taking care of myself. TL [/QUOTE]
