[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 718213, member: 17720"] I was talking to a friend, a long-term recovery alcoholic, who said it takes a minimum (A MINIMUM!) of 1 year before one can expect to see a change in and addict's thinking. That is a scary thought. I believe that if my son did not have the threat of prison as a boot over his head, he would have walked away from rehab several times by now, but once in awhile there are glimmers of hope. My son, for the first time in 10 years, remembered my husband's birthday this week. Hopefully a good sign that the addict is loosening his grip. It is definitely a day by day thing. [/QUOTE]
