[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 746849, member: 1967"] Oh, RN, I am so sorry. I hope he is one of the few that can handle a few drinks or using pot occasionally but there is a saying that an addicts' drug of choice lies at the bottom of a glass. The alcohol lowers the inhibitions and the addict uses again. I so hope I am wrong. I was worried when your son didn't want to participate in a support group. I truly believe that was the key to my daughter's recovery. I know that she believes that a person in recovery shouldn't use any mood altering substance. She once told me that the reason she kept relapsing was that she would do well for a while so she thought it wouldn't hurt to have one drink. Then, it was two drinks. Then, three. You can guess what would happen after that. I know that there is a school of thought that addicts/alcoholics can drink or smoke on an occasional basis. I hope it works for your son. {{{hugs}}} Kathy [/QUOTE]
