[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 718483, member: 15032"] I'm right there with all of you. My son had two starts at junior college also and both ended in a medical discharge because he went off the rails and could not finish. Oh well he though he could go to detox and then right back to it but we said NO! Fix yourself first!! My son can only stay sober for 3 months at a time. Then he goes on a binge and then he's back to being sober. This pattern truly sucks. How can he accomplish much at all and even when he does, he sabotages everything that he accomplishes during his binge? I feel pain that my son cannot accomplish anything and that is what this time of year reminds me of. So many false starts. I would not care if he goes to college or not. Just do something POSITIVE with your life and be happy. I have so many friends that have children that are doing so much with their life. I really am happy for them and feel sadness that our beautiful son is stuck where he is. His therapist said he feels shame and shame keeps people addicted. Well shame for all the bad is part of life. You have to deal with it; you have to feel FEELINGS. That is something that drug users do not want to do. Feelings are hard. But HARD is part of life! We have to keep living our life to the fullest and hope and pray our kids will too someday. [/QUOTE]
