[QUOTE="ostate2003, post: 492144, member: 13460"] Thank you for your reply. I have been through alanon, alateen, adult children, etc. but that was several years ago when my mom was getting sober but my dad was getting worse (20+). It was suggested that I go back to alanon, and I will try it - my only hesitation is that from what I remember, there was a lot of people in these groups that didn't want to do anything about their circumstance, they just wanted to place to get sympathy. I guess to an extent sympathy is what we are all looking for in hard times, I just want answers and options to be able to make a plan towards fixing or addressing the problem. Mayb have been the group(s) I was in too. I hope I hear back soon about the testing question I just posted. I agree with everyone here and this counsler, that I need to find out whether he is actually using or not as soon as possible so I can determine what my next steps are since the unknown is almost more upsetting than what the "worst case outcome" could be.
