If I confiscated Xanax pills, should I cold turkey my kid or should I give him one each day, or just how should I handle this.

How old is your kid?
What makes you think you can control your kid? How did trying to control him/her work in the past? -------------------- 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.

I need AA more than it needs me. --- I fight recovery tooth and nail.... I'm not used to being sane, it just doesn't seem natural. ...... 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 .

Has your son/daughter brought this up or did you find them? Have you discussed it? If so do you think your child is/would be honest with how often taking? If you can be understanding and find that information out, that's absolutely crucial for his/her health. If not often, ok yeah he/she can stop if wants to. (Confiscating is almost pointless if your kids doesn't wanna stop..the search will continue) if it's dependence definitely not cold turkey..dangerous to say least. Hopefully you two have an open enough relationship to beable to talk about these things.. -Mary
