[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 699016, member: 17720"] This was my son exactly. He would isolate because his friends would be smoking or drinking, but he would not replace those friends with other friends or activities. Eventually he would be so starved for companionship he would seek out old friends and resume smoking or drinking. The only difference is, his friends kept it at manageable levels. He never could, and it quickly spiraled out of control. Eventually he lost all of his friends because they couldn't stand to be around him when he was drinking. Ironic. I think the Lexapro is a great first step. I hope it gives him a boost to make some changes and try some new and more stimulating challenges. I think it is good you are encouraging him to get counseling. From there maybe the counselor can help him map out some goals. [/QUOTE]
