[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 746347, member: 15032"] We were fortunate that we were able to initially force our son to go to the program. Then HE made the decision to stay because he wanted HIS family. He knew we would not accept him the way he was. If you make that clear to him - that YOU are making the decision that he cannot be in YOUR life if he does not CHOOSE to get sober and stay sober, that could make the difference. YOU take the lead. You cannot give an addict the reins EVER. He is not your son right now. Forget the guilt and forget feeling sorry for him. It is not gonna help HIM. [/QUOTE]
