[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651025, member: 1550"] Is he going to ,say, AA or other support groups and therapy to help him along? Do you feel he is doing his best to help his disease of addiction? How does it work out with him in the family business? Does he try hard or take advantage? Do you still pay for things like his cell phone and other things? Does he help around the house? This is really something he needs to want to do on his own. Why won't he tatke the antiabuse on his own? I'm thinking he's awfully old to need you to administer to it to him, if he truly wants to maintain his sobriety. Like all of us here, we can't be around forever...I get your desire to help him as we all have that. But he also needs to want to help himself just as much as you want to help him, ya know? And I'm just curious. Is anti-abuse something one can take forever? Thanks! And I'm sorry you are in this position with your grown son. [/QUOTE]
