[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 680111, member: 59"] Welcome Roxana, glad you are here. I agree with SWOT that he needs to stand or fall on his own, hard as it is going to be. He is not going to get or keep a job if he is using. The money he makes will just go to more using. He will get fired again and again and get into more and more legal trouble. He is on a self destruct treadmill and nothing will change if he doesn't stop it. I would make it clear to him that he cannot live with you if he is using. Tell him that you will support him getting help but if he does not he must find other living arrangements. You must be prepared to follow through on this or don't say it. The only way you can survive this is to find a support group for yourself. I have found Families Anonymous to be very helpful. I am so sorry you and your family are going thorough this, but you will find an understanding and supportive group here. [/QUOTE]
