Welcome!! I'm a recovering crack addict, as well as a recovering codie (codependent). I was much worse on the crack than he is...it was my entire life.

That being said, he's already made his choice...he doesn't see anything wrong with his "occasional" use, and you've already said it's gotten more than "occasional". With crack, it will probably get even more frequent. Are you prepared for that?

As Anvil pointed out above, he really has no incentive to change. He's got an enabling system in place (his mom), and he's hoping he still has you.

I didn't find recovery until I was forced to face consequences of my using, and they were pretty harsh. My family loved me...they told me, from the other side of the jail cell bars, where they let me stay.

Keep reading and posting..there's a ton of support and info here.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
