[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 710860, member: 1967"] RN, I never thought my daughter would work the twelve-step program. She always made fun of it and said it wouldn't work for her. But it did . . . when she got serious about recovery. She is so immersed in the program now and has a wonderful support group. She even has become a sponsor to others just starting the program. I guess my point is that I didn't realize what true recovery was until my daughter got serious about it. I see a lot of my daughter in your son. She played us so often and I was always trying to fix things and thought I had to help her get sober. I was constantly searching for the right doctor, the right program, the right halfway house. Ultimately, when I realized it wasn't up to me, she got sober. You will know when your son is serious about recovery. He will be a different person. He will stop expecting you to help him and own up to his problems and want to fix them on his own. He will respect you and value you and stop trying to use you. My daughter now talks about living her life with integrity and honesty. I sometimes wonder who this person is . . . those were not her values when using. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
