[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 484271"] One thing I found really interesting in a conversation I had yesterday with my sons new therapist who is also an addictions counselor and a recovering addict. He said it is only the first step in AA that mentions alcohol or drugs. Addiction is not really about the substance, it is about the faulty thinking. My son is admitting he has addiction issues and I keep focusing on the drug addiction.... but I think my son is right in one way that it is broader than that. He gets obsessive abour relationships too... and that is also an addiction. I think though part of my sons faulty thinking is that he has some control over his drug use and that is faulthy thinking, no question about it.... Anyway I think my son is similar to your difficult child he has trouble living in his own skin... doesn't feel he fits in anywhere and drugs make him feel better, or he thinks they do anyways.
