[QUOTE="lionsingh, post: 157217, member: 13703"] I am 45...took me 3 years of hard drinking just to get to the point where I said I may have a problem......45 years old !!!!! Okay the divorce and bankrupcy and pain...hey..Always thought I didnt have a problem.....Until 6 months ago. He is young and thinks he is indestructible and that he chills out etc... one thing he has said [I]" I am not an addict... I don't need any help"[/I] ... try to say okay...then get a TEST !!!! You will never reach him by telling him what may be obvious to others around him... He refuses because you are his MOTHER...He is trying to get independence and will rebel against almost anything. Be strong.... speak to your own Doctor as well. God bless and may the Gurus give you wisdom. A prayer I learnt in REHAB [COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="4"]"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change but the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"[/SIZE][/COLOR] He says [I]"I can stop any time I want... but I choose not 2 cuz it's relaxing to do pot & helps me do better in school"[/I] Every addict in the world can stop when they want but because I feel in control (as always) I choose to do it attitude. Best NEVER to use the word addict to him, whether he is or not...just a blood test and say its okay at the moment..FIND OUT whether it is really a damaging addiction or a teenage rebellion. I smoked dope for years as a kid and got 2 degrees...and a black belt in Aikido. As to "If you force me 2 go 2 rehab.." I stayed where Robbie Williams did at Clouds...He wrote the song Angels there and sang it for the first time there. I met Amy Winehouses parents sadly after she had died from alcohol.... and people will RUN...I walked out after 6 days !!!! but got 1 mile down the road when a car asked me if I would like a lift back ;'-0 [B]To deny him is to make him run to his drugs faster...TRUST ME....PLEASE DO NOT FORSAKE HIM[/B] as you say [I]is a desperate attempt 2 make him realize how tought life can be out on ur own...[/I] It is more your desperate attempt. Look at the people and junkies on the street...they dont care but for the addiction..and he will blame everything on you. Get him to a GP and a blood test...no blame...It is an illness and we shouldnt hurt those that are ill. A NORMAL Dr first as a drug Dr he will rebel again... BUT the question REALLY remains...does he smoke pot and drink in moderation in his peer group and cultural environment and you are against that or IS HE REALLY addicted and in need of help... [COLOR="Red"][B]"God/Guru grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change but the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
