My RAS told me yesterday that his girl friend was afraid to kick him out because she was afraid if she did, he would be left on the streets and she feared what would happen to him then. Fortunately for my son, the legal system got involved. After his second DUI he was sent to rehab. He has a long way to go to recover not only from his addiction but from all the bad choices he made these past four years. He has a chance now, though. For that I'm grateful.

Try to let go of all you are doing that is enabling your addict to use. That really and truly is the only way. I think in my son's case, he was fast approaching his rock bottom because of the legal system. There was just no other place for him to go since all his choices at that time led him straight to the police getting involved. I told my son yesterday I was grateful for the policeman that gave him his DUI's (he got 2) and the judge that ordered rehab. These two people I believe saved my son's life.
