[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 502275, member: 3305"] WP, As you may have read my 23 yr old Alcoholic son is headed to prison. I tried to "take care of him" since he was released from the Army. It did not work...he still chose pain medications and then strickly alcohol to self-medicate. There was nothing I could do to stop the progression of this disease. We cannot make it better for them...we cannot fix them or convince them. Consequences seem to be the only thing that they understand. "It hurts...I need help...Please help me." And until they get to that point I don't think they can "see" any reason for change in their lives. With understanding and care, LMS [/QUOTE]
