[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 704818, member: 15801"] Copa you have the dilemma exactly. I cannot enforce any rule to stay sober. Trying to do that will just set up the dynamic of him lying to us . If he doesn't want to stop drinking he wont. I am concerned about the car use and have gotten a breathalyzer he needs to use before he leaves and when he comes home. We do not live near public transportation so for him to get a job he needs to be able to drive. I really don't think putting him back on the street at this point will help him. When he is drinking he isolates from us so at least so far we have not had to fear him if he is drunk. The one major argument we have had he was drunk but not violent in any way. What I do know is I can't force him to be sober and I want to avoid the role of policing him except when it comes to driving. [/QUOTE]
