This is correct...these are not your decisions.
I see so much of what I did for my AS in your post.
Taking charge of meds, hoping for rehab, doubting rehab, praying that his GF would not dump him (I would even cover for him out of fear), hoping his boss wouldn't suspect
Then, a while after coming here I realized that I had gotten to the point of taking over for him...completely. He could go right on using.
Rehabs are not silver bullets, but they often do work. Its always worth it to try options that may lead to recovery. With my son it wasn't instantanious, but he did listen and learn, and eventually chose to no longer use.
And that was all his doing.
Stick around and walk with us a bit, read around. You'd be amazed at what we "can't" do
