[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 74396, member: 1545"] It helps me to remember that addiction is an ILLNESS. Of course we must hold individuals responsible for their choices ... but there needs to be empathy too. Most addicts DO desire to be free. But, the addiction has it's ugly claws dug deep into our loved ones. That is why detachment is soooo important. We continue to love, and place value on the person ... but allow consequences. SWC ... none of us are suggesting that you stop loving your son. We are suggesting that you allow him to hit bottom ... BECAUSE you love him. [/QUOTE]
