[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 28961, member: 3579"] Hi [b]katmom[/b] Yep, we thought of that, and so far he's come home a couple of nights with beer on his breath. Told him that if he drinks and drives, he will lose his car, maybe his freedom, possibly his life. Started a fight about us interfering in his life to discover his "new high". Ugh. Luckily, he is still seeing our primary doctor for drug screenings, and he doesn't know when they're happening until the day before. I worry that one day he'll go completely off the deep end and won't care what we find out. But I'm not borrowing trouble. We're hoping that he has enough sanity left in the part of his brain where my beloved easy child is hiding to stay away from the "hard stuff". If not, then the game changes, and not for the better - for anyone. [b]But[/b]... we've seen more positive progress in his life over the last 4 months than we have in the last three years (even if it is everywhere else except at home with us). I can only hope that he's making [i]some[/i] good changes in his life because he wants to, and extend that hope to his choices about his substance abuse habits. I guess we'll see. Mikey [/QUOTE]
