[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 697469, member: 1550"] RN, ypu are onto something, but not handing out free money or doing what grown adults should do for themselves is hard for us, and in my opinion not selfish. However, it is effective. I've been here a while and "getting him started" for the third time rarely works. Usually we give them "another start" and they blow it. They need our love, not out money or for us to do for them. It is very kind to not enable addicts and it is gutwrenching watch them when they make mistakes. We want to give them help, but they need to do it themselves. And that is hard for us to watch. it isnt selfish. [/QUOTE]
