it's hard for the family to not enable, but that is what they are doing. you're right. if you can convince his dad that every dollar he gives him, every truck and every house he has free just sends him deeper into the hellhole of meth. the family might as well be buying it for him.

meth is one of the very hardest drugs to get off of. give me a heroin addict any day and they can beat it.....meth is harder. if he is cut off, totally, he might turn around. and i agree with you about jail/prison time........except he has to be forced into a recovery program while incarcerated or he'll start up as soon as he gets out.

being forced to go to a 30 or shorter period re-hab hardly ever works. if a person has a choice between jail or re-hab, of course they will choose re-hab. i worked in a psych hospital and you could spot the judge ordered patients a mile away. they had no interest in getting clean...there was a light at the end of the tunnel and it was more drug use.

it has to be tough love and it has to be really tough. as a family, you all are already in a compromised position because he has children. we can pray that someday he'll be able to take care of them himself. xoxox pat
