[QUOTE="Mama Raygun, post: 510812, member: 13907"] PV, I am glad that you will be able to rest at night now, knowing where he is and that he's not using drugs tonight has to take a load off your shoulders. I'm sorry you are going thru this, I really hope this is his bottom. I think this might really be the best thing for him, I know you wanted him to be in rehab but this will probably impact him a lot more!!! I have been in rehab a few times and more than half the people there are only there because of court order, they have no desire to get clean they sit around all day 'glorifying' drugs. Not to mention there are usually lots of rehab romances(gross right.?) a lot of the younger people act like its a big party or college dorm in there instead of life or death. Jail will be hardcore recovery, no girls to flirt with, no worries about him walking out. There is something about having your freedom taken away that humbles even the most stubborn addict. He needs to know you aren't going to rescue him and clean up all his messes. I'm proud of you for taking a stand so soon, there are so many parents who enable for soooooo long. Then you end up with a forty yr old addict living in your basement stealing from you all the time! I know this is very hard... I'll be praying you never have to go thru this again! Be strong! ;) [/QUOTE]
