[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 688772, member: 15032"] SWOT I don't think he is thinking he needs to be sober "the rest of his life". At 20 how can you say you'll never have a beer? Is that even honest or realistic? I feel he needs sober living too. My son abused benzos. I can't say he'll never be able to handle a few beers in his entire life. I think you have to just look at one day at a time and where your life is. I know that isn't what the professionals say but that's just my feeling. I have gone to Alanon and it wasn't for me. It felt depressing to me. I may at some point go to my therapist again but I was unable to get in recently. He told me last night that yesterday he swam in the ocean to "clear his head". Wow that is a big deal to me. He would never do that before...go to the beach alone. He also started a new Facebook page today. That has been a point of contention with us in the past. He'd post pictures of pills and weed and set me off because I'd get reports from family members that he was friends with; wouldn't be friends with me or dad. Progress? I hope so. [/QUOTE]
