[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 738671, member: 1550"] I dont think he means he wants to quit. Words mean NOTHING. He had the chance to quit just last week. He clearly doesnt want to but he is trying to maybe gain your favor by throwing this out there for brownie points, even though I dont feel he means a word of it. I feel he is playing with you, probably getting ready to ask you for something that costs money so he is messing with you. Frankly I would tell him, "If you seriously want to quit you know where to go. I have no way to help you detox and if you have a seizure, I would rather you be with a medical professional. So you cant stay with us. It wont be helpful to either of us" And I would mean it. Hate to bring this up but your sons ACTIONS matter. His words are just gobbly gook. He means he will quit when he acts the part of quitting. You already know that his new apartment location is the absolute worst place to be for sober living and your son knows it too. He chose the bar spot on purpose. He is smart. He did it for his convenience. And his actions show you he wont quit at this point in time I do not beloieve that to his face you will acconplish being done with him. He will cry, act sorry, promise, use meaningless words to hook you in and because ALL of us want to believe them, you will go home believing he is quitting and you will be reinvested, maybe even paying his rent. Face to face is hard even if we know they are lying...we try to tell ourselves "but this time maybe its true" even as they dont behave as if they will be getting sober anytime soon. Thats why I thought going there is a bad idea, amongst other reasons. I hope I am wrong, but actions usuually speak louder than words. Words are just babble. Do it, dont say it. Good luck! Love and light! [/QUOTE]
