[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 763407, member: 1550"] [B]I reported this post.[/B] NOBODY CAN SAVE AN ADULT DRUG ADDICT. You really don't get it. At 33, only this adult addict can save himself. 33 year old addicts are legal adults. We have no right to make our ADULTS get well. We can not force them to get well , to do anything. What planet do you live on where adult addicts allow their parents to force them to do what we wish? At his age he is his own responsibility. I am not sure you really understand that we can't "do something" unless these adults are willing. My daughter ran across the country when we tried to help. Adults do what they want and we have no control. If they die due to their refusal to get help and continue to live a dangerous lifestyle, it certainly is not our fault. All of us have begged them to change. In the end, the only person responsible for ones death, if he is an adult and living a dangerous life, is himself [/QUOTE]
