[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 753237, member: 24254"] I just went back through this thread and saw that you also mentioned MJ and that he was detoxing it out of his system in order to pass a drug test. So he is neither sober nor clean. And that can quickly derail into a more serious drug problem. I am wondering how he drank "on the sneak" as you put it when he has been moderately drinking all along since he has been home? What is the difference? Hard liquor? I hope I am not overstepping here and I don't mean to scare you, but to make you aware. From my experience in AA and NA, I have not seen an addict not relapse with their drug of choice when they drank and smoked pot. Eventually, this won't be enough because addiction is a progressive and fatal illness. It cannot be cured, only arrested one day at a time, by abstinence. Do you know why he quit his job at the same time that he decided not to pursue welding? He seems to know what to say to ease your mind and when I hear "I was only having a bad day and that is why I drank but I am better now" it raises all kinds of red flags for me. Feel free to tell me to shut up if I am digging too much here. You know your son, and have been through a lot with him. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
