[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 235408, member: 6326"] I used the wrong word. Stanton Peele has a Ph.D. That makes him more than a coach. But don't you agree that this poor mom fights a loosing war so long as she cannot get her husband on board? Unfortunately I had drug abuse in my life. My brother used drugs for 20 years. It did not kill him but now where he is almost 40, he has not been able to establish a family and he is still living in a one-room-apartment not very much larger than a room in a college, so you can say that his drug use made his life remain on standby for 20 years. Opposite alcohol use - not abuse, which are a common thing here in Denmark, he has lasting effects from the drug use he has to handle for the rest of his life. Right now the authorities are investigating whether he can serve in a normal job at all. Maybe they have to give him a job where the employer gets haft the money for his salery from the state. And he will be forced to remain in his one-room-apartment and continue to stay out of relationship. Not the brightest future. As for alcohol. My brother drank it, but he was never drunk. Not even once did I catch him talking into the big china phone out in toilet. Not even once have I phoned him where he had a hangover from the day before. Yes people drink alcohol in Scandiavia. Most of them are introduced to alcohol by their parents aged 14 or 15 as part of a religious ceremony and then they are free to experience how they adapt to alcohol so they know how dangerous alcohol can be before they can drive a car. A few don't drink for religious reasons and those you properly will find in court, because our statistic shows that crimes are committed by those marginalized groups none wants to hang around with. Second of all we are at war with them in Afghanistan. I dont see alcohol and drugs as one whole. The general difference between an alcohol user and an abuser is that the abuser attends meetings. Drug use on the other hand can result in death because of the difference in strength of each unit and lack of quality control. It should not exist. Regarding this boy we may disagree on many things, but generally two things remain. 1) The parents have to agree on a strategy. Otherwise the child will shop for the best condition manipulating the parents against each other. 2) No rehab in the world would help him until he agrees that he has a problem. It would only be warehousing for time and a waste of money. [/QUOTE]
