I just don't think a once before addict will stop at a few Xanax. that's the nature of the addiction. you just cant ever go back
dealing with addicts close to home is confusing. when my stepbrother became one he became another person entirely. he stole and stole and stole from all of us. money and things that can never be replaced. he used and abused us daily. I began to hate him from my gut. I was a wreck every time he came to the house. you had to hide everything. he would pass out then wake up . by the end i was a wreck as were many others
fast forward to family intervention. he got clean and is a better person now than he was even before the drugs. he has changed from the inside out and is amazing.
but in the process he lost his wife his house and respect and many friends .
