[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 755233, member: 15032"] Oh my! I'm so glad that you are doing better health wise. Sometimes we need a wake up call!! I'm so sorry about your son. You and hubby are absolutely doing the RIGHT thing, by him and FOR him. Sometimes it takes MANY times at rehab before they get it. I'm not sure how old your son is but based on your age I am thinking early 20's? As many say, the first time plants the seed. Maybe even the second, third or fourth time! My son was in many rehabs and many therapies etc. etc. but he didn't want to change until we sent him away for a few years which was supposed to be sober living and college but he kept relapsing. At least I didn't have to SEE it. It hurt me each and every time of course. There is no black and white here. These stories are all different. Nothing is the same from family to family, person to person. We each have to find our own sweet spot of what works with our family and our loved one that is addicted. If you believe, turn him over to God. Let him know that you always love him and you will support him when he is doing the right thing and getting healthy. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
