[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 715535, member: 15032"] I think any of that CAN work IF and only IF the person using wants help/wants to stop. Otherwise throw it all in the toilet and flush twice! My son has been exposed to every possible thing that is available on heaven and earth to get him to seek sobriety and stay sober. He wasn't ready to stop destroying himself. Okay that's fine. We were ready! We were done living like that. We had no choice but to tell him he could no longer live in our home. Nothing else worked. I wish we had done THAT earlier rather than later. Could have prevented years of spinning our wheels. In your heart as a mom you just KNOW they aren't getting it and yet [B]you [/B]just keep trying until you are an exhausted heap of skin trying to maintain a "normal" life for yourself and your spouse, other kids etc. I have to keep reminding myself of this so that I don't get sad/get soft/feel bad that our son is far away in sober living missing his family. I still don't know if he "gets it" BUT I do know that he knows this is the only way he'll have his parents in his life. Is that enough? I don't know the answer to that. [/QUOTE]
