REHAB

having been through rehab, successfully, I, cannot imagine this young man (step-son) going through this 6 times.  It is the most humiliating experience one can endure one time.  If he has not learned his lession by now, being honest, I, do not know where the answer lies.  Yes his father is at fault to some degree, no tough love there, but to be that far gone as this guy is would think the authorites could take over since he is a threat to him-self.  straight jacket time.   

  

P.S.  have just passed by 16th AA Birthday.     

  

Sincerely,

beer drinker

this lady who says no one comes before her beer.  wow, how sad.  since she is a threat to her-self and her children, the authorities need to step in here.  no intervenion is going to help her, in my opinion,  she will resist  rehab, maybe not on the surface if she choses to enter just to show  she does not want her children taken away for good, but the minute she is released she will head for the nearest beer.  Re-hab and AA are good tools but are not the means to an end for some people.  (I, remeber the ending to the movies  "THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES', this sounds like that kind of ending).  she is to be pitied.  she is weak.  in much need of coping skills.  needs to know where her priorities lie.  again my opinion, maybe she needs shock treatment.  redirect the braines thinking.  open channels that r alcohol clogged.   

  

it is so easy to get caught up in this mess of alcohol.  in my case was there without knowing it just by having those drinks.  not realizing i was dependent on alcohol til it was too late.  i, was a drunk.  am one lucky guy that re-hab and AA worked for me.  just past my 16th AA birthday. am now 73 years old, and would not be had i continued on as i was.  this lady is young.  whole life ahead of her.  Dr. Phil, my hat off to u if u pull this one off.  but  but but.     JACK DANKS
