My son has had several periods of being sober the various times he's been in jail. It boggles my mind how my son could be locked for 2 plus years and as soon as he's "free" can't wait to go get high. He has also had a serious issue with alcohol. That was a contributing factor to the last time he ended up in jail. He was drunk and stabbed someone. While he was locked up and when he was on parole, he told me how he knew he had a problem with alcohol and was attending AA meetings. I would like to believe him but I have no way to verify if any of that is true. Only time will tell........
If I had to pick, I would rather him smoke pot than drink.
Yes, I too wish he would want better for himself.
