[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 587727, member: 1550"] Unless you suffer from psychosis or some other thought disorder in which you don't know what reality is, both in mental illness and in drug recovery YOU have to make the decision to help yourself and it has to be a strong resolve. Without hard work and commitment on the part of the person himself, nothing positive can happen. I have had mental illness all my life and it took up a lot of time to get better. Part of that was making a decision never to drink or use drugs because I figured I had enough problems without using that stuff to make me even worse. Taking prescribed drugs while drinking and using recreational drugs messes them up...they can't help if other drugs are in the way. I know this probably isn't comforting. I had to deal with this t oo when my daughter was self-destructing. Until the day she decided to quit, she had no commitment to do it and refused to get any help. It really falls on your son's shoulders. His mental illness diagnoses are similar to mine. Without medication compliance and abstinance from drug abuse, it is pretty hard to get better. I hope he changes his mind. It is always possible! My daughter did and we truly thought she'd end up in jail or dead. [/QUOTE]
