Addiction makes it impossible for them to admit it, Khrea. It they were to admit that they had a problem, then they would have to find a solution. I know this is hard for you but if it is meant for him to find his way, he will. My daughter tends to put on a false front when she is feeling vulnerable. I am sure that underneath your son is scared but the drugs and alcohol take away that feeling. They don't have the ability to think beyond their next high. I am sure that he is only thinking about today. Consequences be damned. But that is all part of the disease and why it is so important for you to find a way to detach. Don't give up hope. Hugs, Marle
