[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 645792, member: 1550"] One day at a time, one minute at a time, one moment at a time. There are no guarantees.Hanging around with bad people is not a good sign so be on guard, but there is no point in panicking. It won't do anyone any good. Bored or not, if you want to quit (and this includes everything from alcohol to any drug) you have to change your life and find new friends. The old ones WILL try to get you to drink/smoke/shoot up/whatever again. They will not just let you be sober while they aren't. My daughter was very lonely for a very long time after she finally quit, but many tries before that she was pressured to start using drugs again (and "getting drugs for me") again...until she actually left the neighborhood she was both too pressured to quit and too scared to quit. Changing the code is a good idea if your son messes up the house. Don't take any chances on who he may bring in wit him either. I wish I could say it sounds good or bad or either. Being very logical, all I can say is...whatever is...is. Or "It is what it is." Take precautions just in case. Don't ignore warning signs. You can't do anything for him, but you can play safe yourself. Pray a lot and hope for the best. It was quite a long time before we could believe our daughter really stopped using. There had been too many false starts. But she did it!!!! And if she did, anyone can! Her life changed dramatically in every way when she quit. She is not the person she was at all when she used. Nor does she know anyone or keep in touch with "the old days" people. [/QUOTE]
