[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 718103, member: 15032"] Albie Yes I have often said the same thing. Like WHO is this person (with disgust face)!! Yes even sober they are drug brain. I was so SHOCKED about my son's last incident. He had been in rehab and sober living for months and they said he was doing well. My husband even saw him in July and they had a great few days; he was compliant with the sober living; they would not let him sleep at hotel with his dad so he went back to their facility and came to see his dad the next day after group. My husband refrained from even having a beer when they were together. All was good. After my husband gave him his car back for work on that visit - the sober living said it was okay - within a few weeks he left there and went right to benzos and blacked out and totaled his car! Even with all we've been through with him, I could NOT believe it. I was not thinking he was buying all they were selling but we both felt the worst of the addiction was behind us. Especially my husband. Sad to say we were floored and devastated. Still am. So empty. I watched Dope Man recently (which was filmed where I live and that was freaky seeing my water tower again and again) and he said getting these kids sober is one thing, THEN and only THEN can you work on their brain/thinking. THEY DO NOT THINK RIGHT. It takes years of behavioral therapy. YEARS. I have said to my son for years that he needs to CHANGE. I mean a complete CHANGE of his thinking. Not sure if that is even possible sadly. [/QUOTE]
