Sorry to hear of your tragedy-I hear you and know exactly what you are saying
We have probably messed things up many times by NOT letting him hit rock bottom and finally getting sick and tired of his life
We keep catching him when he falls and it is just enabling him
The larger issue with that is he always seems to fall apart in the middle of an Alaska winter and we can't get the image out of our minds of him freezing to death in his car or a homeless camp if we don't step in
We know we shouldn't but we can't help it
This is 6 times and I honestly am ready to let him face the music on his own
If he can get into a 4 week inpatient program that has some sort of after care plan it will just about get him into late winter, early spring...
We just have to come to grips with the fact he is an adult and HE makes it or breaks it
Thanks for caring enough to comment
In all sincerity on my part-get that young man in a suntan parlor!
Physically and mentally for some- lack of solar radiation is the root cause.
I'm doing the shakeandbake myself-once a wk. I was sick Nov-dec.
Hell with that. I'm feeling great- and good spirits also...
