[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 506980"] I agree telling him we will cut him off next week probably won't get him to stop using... which is why i think next week he will be on the street!!! However it clearly puts the ball in his court..... it won't feel like an aribrary decision on our part. At that point I will be very clear another sober house is not an option... that the only option is detox and treatment. In a way to be honest this is strategy. If I am clear that the ball is in his court then it will be much easier to hold our ground. We have given him the chance to do it the sober house way... it is not working. I do think the sober house guy is on to him, and was talking about how he needs to get out and live life and do things you would normall do like ahem get a job!!! And no this is not the more restrictive sober house... this is the one for people really down and out. I pay a week at a time so it is not much money really. TL [/QUOTE]
