[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 719538, member: 19069"] Yes this is my sons first offense, well he had a DUI once but this is considered first offense, he just turned 25 on Saturday. So many years wasted, my son is very intelligent and when I sent him to college is when this all started. He didn't finish his degree and stacked up some pretty hefty unnecessary student loans too. I remember people on here saying the 25 seems to be the magic age when some grow up and change, I've been counting down the years to see if that was true. I would rather my son be in prison too rather than using drugs, it's so scary. In a way I'm glad it turned out this way because I'm pretty certain it wouldn't have been the end if he had gone to rehab that day at the hotel. He was agreeing to go for the wrong reasons and we've been down that road before. Took me a long time to realize that, I blamed myself for getting mad and leaving that day at the hotel. My son even agrees now that he probably wouldn't have stopped had this not happened and then sometimes he denies ever having a problem which worries me. I've thought about your son often RN, you've provided him all the tools for recovery and you've set healthy boundaries. You should seriously look into the Issiah house here in Kentucky, they also teach them job skills , no one really desires to come to Kentucky. There's been so much on the news about these rehabs in Florida being scams so definitely do your research [/QUOTE]
