I visited my oldest AS a couple times, and that was it for me. Somehow I just don't feel comfortable in a prison setting....

IMO, trying to get an Addict to face the facts related to their addiction and responsiblity, and where it has landed them, is like trying to teach a fish to ride a bicycle....

I go OUT of my way to have any conversations with "addiction" in the sentence. When they are ready to be sober, THEY'LL bring the subject up.

Don't beat yourself up trying.


Hugs....
