[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 721518, member: 1550"] Ask yourself a few questions. 1. What were doing at 22? 2. In all honestly, why do you feel he wants to live with you again? Be truthful. 3. Has it been easier for him to resist addiction at your home? 4. Is a promise, even if you know the outcome will be bad, worth keeping anyway? 5. In your gut, do you feel it will go well if he lives with you? 6. At his age do you believe he will participate in family activities or be out with "friends" more? 7. What is the worst thing that happens if you say "I gave it alot of thought and I am sorry but I changed my mind?" We are allowed to change our minds. For our good. For theirs. You already know how it likely will turn out. At any rate, he has never yet stayed sober even close to a year. A year free of adfiction is encouraging, but only the very start. Take one day at a time With addiction, thinking a year ahead is not helpful. He will be a different person if he has a sober mindset and may not even want to move into your home anymore. Time is a great healer. [/QUOTE]
