[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660300, member: 1550"] You know the answer to your own question. There is nothing you can do to stop his addiction. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. There is a lot HE can do, but you can't make him do those things. He has to want to quit as much or more than you want him to quit. That's sadly the bottom line. Many parents of addicts ask themselves this question all the time. You can bring him home, go through hello again, and he still won't quit until he wants to and your home cooking won't make him quit. He will do the same thing at your house as he does in the streets unless he take a serious turn and decides to change his entire life. Getting sober is more than just not using...it's making a whole new set of friends and stopping the rebellion against the entire world. [/QUOTE]
