[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740868, member: 23349"] Trying, I wish I had answers for you here, but this isn't an area I know much about. Mine have never made it as far as IOP or sober living. I am pretty sure that he won't be put on a hold for cutting. S was also a cutter, but that was never enough for a hold. Only serious, imminent suicide threats or threats to other people did it. But of course I can't promise anything without knowing the specifics of his situation and his therapist. I think I would keep encouraging him to be honest. I know it is really common to substitute one addiction for another through the process. N got sober in prison and a court-mandated rehab process, and that worked for him. He was already athletic, and he ended up substituting fitness - lifting and running - as his "addiciton". It seems they do need something to replace it, and the best outcome is they can find a healthy something. I think the only thing you can do here is to remember that this is his process, not yours, and try not to get too involved in it. If he's ready and he wants it he will find a way. If he's not and he doesn't there is nothing you can do. I hope you are able to take care of yourself and find some peace here. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
