Personally I would give him an ultimatum – he obviously isn’t getting the help he needs by going to these meetings so maybe it’s time to look at the next stage (rehab? residential care?) – if he can’t commit to making a real effort to change I would leave. …of course that’s easy for me to say though as I’m not the one with any emotional attachment to him. I hope things improve one way or another – take care xx

I am in the same position as you with my son. He wants help but wont commit 100%. He plays me and his dad off against one another. He came here to my house for food and lodging while in treatment,I just can’t help but feel he is taking the p**s.
Anyhow have told him to leave.
Look after yourself, you deserve respect,love and security. Trust is not in the addicts vocabulary. Anger and anxiety are there watchwords.
Maybe having to cope with it on his own will make him commit.
Look after yourself xx -
It is so difficult to be in the situation you are all in.
