[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739831, member: 1550"] Everyone is different as is their personalities and levels of addictions. Everyone gets sick of using at different times. For different reasons. My daughter quit without rehab (coke and meth) because "It was too hard to use." Sadly some people have no rock bottom and dont quit. Most do seem to quit eventually at least as reported on this forum. But should we help them use?We can always offer love and emotional support. That doesnt cost money. in my opinion giving money to an addict is like helping them use. That is why it was easy for us to not do it. Plus daughter was not on the streets. She didnt like where she lived but she had a place as long as she behaved. Unlike some who dont care, she did not want ro be homeless so she behaved. Every adult child does things differently. Rehab is to teach quitting and clean living skills but I do think it is counter productive to throw somebody out for a relapse. Maybe it is insurance related? Parents have a rock.bottom too. Everyone has a place where we are too tired to keep helping. Or not. Some 80 year olds are housing addict 60 year old adult children. There are no definitive answers. I am so glad your son is in a good place for him to get the skills he needs. Love and light. [/QUOTE]
