[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 746717, member: 15032"] I did not read the entire thread but my first thought is that he does not want them coming to check on him because he is hiding something. I hope I am wrong but I do not see any other reason why he would not want to comply with the rules. My son never wanted to comply with anything so I get it. We want them to be sober more than they want it. We know that even sober, they need to change their thinking and that is EXTREMELY difficult to make someone do if not impossible. I would seriously not negotiate with him at all. When my son acted like this he did not get to talk to me. I was not interested. We handled him with kid gloves as they say. My son has a very strong personality - like his father - so I let his father handle him. I just couldn't do it. I got too upset and it was not good for my health. Even if this program does not get your son sober or where he needs to be thinking-wise, they do have some takeaways from each program they attend. My son was in some wonderful programs with wonderful people and he put very little effort in. My son is 23 and wasted 5 years of his life doing this crap. [/QUOTE]
