to inciting silence:
yes, his phone is really mine, since it is part of my family plan. i got it for him, and he pays the monthly, back when he was truly sober.
car, mine. i was allowing him to drive me to work, then run his errands, etc, but since i knew he wanted to meet his connection a few days ago, took that away
money: hmmm. yes, it is his earned money. he looks at bills, but sees dope. i will have to think about this one.
he said he wanted to get clean and sober, with the help of mmt. i am trying to help bridge that gap and yes, he did make the appt. it just takes this long apparently.
i am not doing this for gratitude, but i did think that he would thank me one day. he is on house arrest - told him that if he wants to hang until the intake for mmt and treatment, he can but he has to just sit tight. if he wants to use, i will give him his money, and he can leave. he either doesn't want to leave because he's being straight about turning things around, or he just wants a roof over his head.
i know all about support, and i do go to meetings: al-anon and nar-anon. and it's the reason i came to this site.
i was most concerned about w/d. because if he says he's getting sick, i know it can be potentially serious and i want to know how to respond. you say just give him a phone and walk away? i don't quite get that. but THANK YOU for your reply. i truly appreciate it.

i know methadone will block other opiates, but there's a lot of other junk out there and i think he was mixing to get a high. thank you for your reply
