[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 751878, member: 24254"] I am a bit confused. You said he relapsed after the death of his brother, and that it was a one time deal and he was back to meetings. Then why would he say that he will move to Chicago and get into a rehab there? Why would he need rehab if the relapse was short lived and he is back to meetings? It makes me wonder whether he is using and that is why he wants to go back to Chicago where the using friends are, where he is not under your observation/guidance, and where the ex is (with whom he probably used?). What drugs does he do? Does he have a sponsor? Attend meetings regularly? As a member of AA (and NA when I started my sobriety in 1991) , I can tell you that one time relapse for someone relatively new in the program is highly unlikely. Do you go to Al-Anon? His financial situation would also be bad if he was still using . Just some thoughts .I know you are worried sick and I would be as well. The more you learn to work on you ,the more helpful in a mentally healthy way you can be. Cutting the purse strings is a great first step. [/QUOTE]
