[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 720967, member: 1967"] Trust me. None of us started out strong. We all were exactly where you are at the start of our journeys. There will come a point when you just won't want to live in the chaos and drama of your loved one's drug use. Just like the addict/alcoholic has to hit bottom . . . we do, too. At that point, we start to change. It is easier with help, though. In the meantime, your son is functioning at this point. All you can do is hope and pray and try not to let it keep you from functioning. Either he doesn't have a problem and will be able to live a normal life or he does have a problem and it will come crashing down on him. There is nothing you can do in either case. My therapist always told me that my daughter was going to do whatever she wanted to do and that there was absolutely nothing I could do to change that. She was right. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
