[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 35086, member: 187"] I saw your Post Topic and what I thought of before I read your message was: Monkey See Monkey Do and from the description of your son & so many of our difficult child's, that fits, too. I agree with Janet, the pain of changing is worse than the pain of staying the same. There's a big part of that in addiction/recovery issues. We need to come to a place where the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing. Why Pain has to be the number one motivator is a mystery to me! Why can't we be motivated by Joy, or Hope, or even Fear? But no, at least for this addict, Pain is the number one motivator. [img]:hammer:[/img] Peace [/QUOTE]
