[QUOTE="Marty Gilroy, post: 697365, member: 20650"] Your son may need to engage with peers who are clean & sober. All of us develop social skills as we grow/age and discover that what we thought we true may not be any longer. I'd want my son to meet with peers in recovery. And I know this sounds crazy, but repeating positive affirmations again & again helps. You could even start talking with him about this, re: son,, I noticed that you made a point to acknowledge XYZ today (or yesterday). For my sake, will you say aloud that you acknowledged XYZ. I'd like each of us to acknowledge the good things we do, so both of us can build on that. Life provides enough hardships. Let's focus on what we do well and/or extend ourselves to others. [/QUOTE]
