[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714116, member: 15032"] Albie: Please don't be hard on yourself. I read your post and saw myself there too. That is one reason we have our son far away because I KNOW I cannot be strong when I see him and if I saw him like that I would forget everything I have worked on too. It's just too hard. We hope that when they say they KNOW they need help they really mean it and are not just saying what we want to hear. My son is good at that too. I do think they WANT to not be the way they are but for some reason they cannot overcome their addiction. It's too easy NOT to I think. It's not something I understand. Maybe the fact that you DID have your son close and he felt the love and caring that he can somehow reflect on that in his darkest days and know that is worth staying sober for. I know that my son misses that and hope that in some way that is some incentive for him to stay on track but I don't know. I admire you for everything you have done and continue to do. We all know there is no wrong or right answer here. We are all struggling to get to the same place. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
