[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 693302, member: 15032"] Darkwing: He has seen people die that he knew from a heroin overdose, yes. Since he does not use heroin, he thinks that he is safe maybe? I don't know. I told him that more people die from prescription pills than heroin because they think it's safe. Hey it's a prescription from a doctor!! I have literally talked until I can talk no more. I'm talked out. He has been in rehab 5 times so he's not really new to it all. He is pretty well educated on all of it. You bring up some good points in your response that I need to think about. [LIST] [*]Clean versus sober. Can he stay clean/sober on his own? No. Not for now. Maybe not for a very long time. [*]Recovery shouldn't be comfortable. He certainly isn't comfortable right now. But I see that as a good thing and it sounds like I'm on the right track with my thinking based on what you've said. He wants to come and go as he pleases and he cannot now or anytime soon due to his extreme relapse yet he asks me if he has to live like this forever. I don't know. That is a question he has to ask himself!! It has just been proven to him that the alternative to him using is THIS which he dislikes but is that enough?? [*]He has one foot in. He surely has so far since he got to Florida and maybe this is the result of one foot in. I am going to bring this up with him the next time I talk to him [*]Humility. Ah..no. Need to see some of that from him. [/LIST] We haven't really had much good conversation since his relapse due to me being angry, hurt and afraid. He has not talked to his dad AT ALL yet. We all had the best relationship right before this happened. It felt so good. It had to feel good to him too. I don't know where we go from here. I thank you for your analysis. [/QUOTE]
