OK. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. That totally answered my questions. I read MOST of the stickys over there. This addiction can be sooo much worse than I ever experienced. I guess my step-dad is a special case because we went through very little nonsense with him (relatively to what I see posted here at naranon forum). So my plan is to distance myself and make him take the initiatives to do the things that will make him healthy and free. I can see quite clearly through others experiences that I really cannot help if he is active. Yesterday he gave me his "kit" to throw away somewhere he couldn't find it. (although it seems silly because he'll just go get more if he wants to.) I will not loose faith completely, but I am going to be much more alert to the way he acts and I act around this. Boy did I walk onto a BIG pile of glass.
Oh and Thanks for the advice and Help AGAIN!!
