[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 644850, member: 15801"] I still tend to think my son is an addict but I do wonder about if it makes a difference why he uses. I think in the past a lot of the drug abuse was him trying to escape his feelings and depression. If he is doing it in a more social way and moderately maybe he will be able to function..... I have strong doubts about this but he is clearly happier now overall and that may help a lot. All I know is he has to figure it out himself. I do think that he now feels in more control over his own life and that in and of itself is important. And I have felt for a long time if he could get a job that he felt good about, and gave him some positive reinforcement that would help a lot. We are planning on going to visit him in the next month or so and I am sure that will give me a better feel of how he is doing. TL [/QUOTE]
