[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 660844, member: 1233"] You are an engineer and want to fix this, right? One thing that people don't hear is that the chances of your son getting and staying clean increase by 30% if you and your wife go to Alanon or Narcanon Family Program weekly- esp if you go more than 1x a week. I know that 30% better of a chance may not seem like much right at first. Maybe if you think of it like this: If school called and told you that your son is only making a 60 in a class, but if you an your wife went to a parent meeting for an hour one day a week then he would make a 90 and have a much better chance at getting into college, would you go to that meeting? Right now your son is flunking something vastly more important, his life and sobriety, and you have this chance that costs you zero cash and just your time, what are you doing by not going?? Few celebrities ever said anything that I remembered for years. One is the guy who played Archie Bunker. He said "Get between your kids and drugs any way you can." That, in my opinion, was profound.
