[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 486601, member: 3710"] I'm glad that you are staying strong about where your son should go, and who he should stay with. It is very discouraging when I read that addicts can relapse 7 times before they straighten themselves out. You are doing the very best that you can for your son, even if it is so very hard to deal with. I am sure that both you and I are dealing with these kids one day at a time and hoping that they will make good choices by themselves. My difficult child also smokes a lot of cigarettes all the time, and he has a smoker's cough and is probably hooked on nicotine. Like you I have chosen not to fight that battle over cigarettes. I did find a rehab place where they allow the teens to smoke cigarettes outside the facility, and that was a big issue with my difficult child. I think that he feels calmer about rehab when he knows that he can still have his cigarettes. Good luck with your son, and let everyone know when he gets to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC).
