[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 146781, member: 1721"] Your son has made his choice, Susan. Addiction is a terrible thing. You are strong enough to see this thing through. It isn't going to be easy. Love your son, hold faith with your son. Accept the choice he has made. If he shows up at home, you will need to send him to a shelter. Look them up in your phone book. Post the number and address by the phone, find out when they are open, know in your heart that this is the action you will take. If your son does come home, make him food, let him take a shower if he wants to, and drive him to the shelter. Tell him addiction is a terrible thing and that no one can do this for him. If he refuses to go, you will have to have the police take him away. For us, the confusion which led to weakness had to do with not having a plan of action. Develop your action plan, Susan. You will feel stronger once you have prepared for that worst outcome. You did not do this. Your son made his choice. Barbara [/QUOTE]
