My son is a drug addict and he thinks he can drink alcohol. Alcohol impairs judgment so next comes drugs. Any comments.

Here is Narcotics Anonymous' HOW IT WORKS. -------------------- Serenity Prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.

According to the great spiritual teachers, ignorance does not result from what we don’t know; ignorance results from what we think we do know. ---Some think that 2+2=5 and believe it. Some know that 2+2=4 and can't stand it. --- I didn't have a very happy childhood but I sure am having a long one ! ---Dry since 1989 working daily on getting/staying SOBER. ---If you want to drink, that's your business ...If you want to quit, that's AA's business. ... Tell me, I'll forget; ... Show me, I'll remember; ... Engage me, I'll understand. ---Most problems are psychological. Most solutions are spiritual .

I think it depends on the person. Some will disagree. Im a crack addict. Alcohol doesn't have the pull on me that the coke does. I don't obsess over it BUT yes it DOES lower my inhibitions and there is always the strong chance I will want my DOC after drinking so I just don't drink. Unfortunately this is something HE has to figure out for HIMSELF. Its doubtful that anything YOU do or say will change that.
-------------------- JEN I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power,love and a sound mind.
