[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 694037, member: 1967"] I don't think that you or anyone in your family should drink in front of him. Why take that chance? I would think it would be important to show that you can have fun together without alcohol. If nothing else, it would be singling your son out as having a problem if he couldn't drink while everyone else is drinking. That's just my opinion, though. I know of some alcoholics that have been in recovery for a long time that say it doesn't bother them when others drink. They still don't drink, though. As far as his being able to drink, my daughter told me once that "your drug of choice lies in the bottom of your glass." When I asked her what that meant, she said that once you start drinking it is much harder to say no to other drugs. I have never heard of a rehab program that says you can safely start to use any mind altering substances after a given period of time. I have heard that there various outlooks when it comes to smoking cigarettes in recovery. Some programs ban it right from the start as it is an addiction. Others allow it as duckwing said. My daughter's rehabs have all allowed smoking and almost all of the addicts in the programs smoke. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
