[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 502127, member: 59"] I read this and didn't know how to reply so I waited to think about it. Alabama Girl said it best, we all have our own threshhold. It was easy for me because our daughter was drinking daily, very out of control, lying, stealing, staying out for days at a time, very disrespectful, flunking out of school and making very poor and dangerous choices. And so when she came home one morning at 4am and urinated on the hallway carpeting an hour later because she thought she was in the bathroom we knew it was time for treatment and that she could no longer live here. I'm not sure what I would have done if she was pleasant to be around and her behavior was not disruptive, hopefully I would have tried to convince her to get drug treatment. Have you discussed your son's drug use with him and what is his response? Eventually his job will be affected. Does his job offer an employee assistance program and would he be willing to go? It is easier to be in denial when their behavior is not horrible so I applaud your concern and willingness to get help now. Nancy [/QUOTE]
