Hi always hopeful and all the other parents of addicts isn’t it just heartbreaking. I’m still struggling a bit with the forum I get emails saying someone has posted on a thread? I always read them but don’t always know how to reply sorry I’m trying ????I would love to offer advice but sadly I can’t as my son’s addiction has gone on for a long time he’s 30 I have posted a lot so most of you already know but the question do they need a mentor who is now clean ? Maybe it works for a lot of people my son got back into rehab and a lovely sorry it’s sponser not mentor someone who I knew visited him a few times then my son left big mistake he stayed at the sponser s house back in the town he needed to get as far away as possible from .it was the 12 steps programme it works for some very well but not for my son it all went wrong and the sponser had to ask him to leave so there we go again back to square one so it continues I’m realy sorry if I sound negative but yes maybe a sponser can work if the addict wants it to? I think the 12 steps was a bit too much for my son unfortunately..I wish I could of made you feel better I’m just being honest about my or should I say my son’s situation and I couldn’t possibly get any worse at the moment. So let’s all try to stay strong and hope that things may get better thinking of you all xxx
