[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 697216, member: 1550"] You cant find him. He has to do that. Nobody here "gave up." WE just realized that handing free money and other gifts doesnt help. it can do harm if they have no reason to change because we inadvertently pay for all their needs, drugs included. One thing I learned by having an adult kid who did quit us that none of us know for certain what drugs our kids are using or how much. Ditto alcohilism. by the way binge drinking that impacts one's life IS alcoholism. Your son is a 32 year old man now and he and all adults make choices. You can decide to keep on trying to fix him, even if he won't do what he needs to do to get fixed (some people make this decision to keep pitching in regardless) or you can focus on the one person you can truly control...yourself. The quality of everyone's life is in large part due to our own decisions. We haveto feel good about our choices and we are all different and at different stages in our own lives. I am sorry for your hurting heart. All of us have bern there. Some still are. post again. We are here for you, regardless of the path you take. [/QUOTE]
