Yes, I guess that's where I struggle. I have hard time differentiating an honest effort from a deceptively honest effort. I would imagine that continuing with his therapist is a bare minimum. I just don't want to find myself supporting someone who is just hiding his addiction so he can have his cake and eat it too. I guess that's why I'm asking this question in the first place. I hear him say that he's going to get clean then handle the recovery independent of professional help and I KNOW that's a recipe for disaster. So, I'm just trying to gauge how much of this is being said because he's still an active addict and doesn't have the clarity to see how damaging his current behavior has been. I'm hopeful that the sobriety will give him this clarity. Is the paradigm shift immediate once the drugs exit his system? Am I going to see a new him after detox or just more of the same? I'm not willing to deal with a "dry drunk" anymore than I am an active addict.
