[QUOTE="Nature, post: 740198, member: 19011"] Nope you helped him out. The reason I say this is because I had a lengthy conversation with the addictions counsellor at my son's clinic yesterday discussing this very thing. She is a remarkable and dedicated woman who my son, his friend and myself feel a connection with. As a former addict herself she made it very clear that I was doing whatever it took to HELP my son and his friend get on the right track but I should not feel guilty that I was enabling because she assured me I was not. I think it's the same in your case. I think sometimes we are so afraid of falling into the enabling mode we forget we would help our children out if they weren't addicts. Yes, no doubt we have to be very careful not to take on too much of their responsibilities but we can cut them a break. Your son has done well these past couple weeks that it would be a shame for him to have a setback so I think you did the right thing in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
