Hi all
My stepson has sort of accepted going to re-hab as an option. Does anyone
here know if re-hab work and what is the scenario for it to work, if so?
Kind regards
Mias

"Rolling Stones guitarist back in rehab for the third time" London |

"The Rolling Stones" lead guitarist Ronnie Wood is back in rehab for the
third time in the past four years as the troubled star continues to
battle alcoholism.

According to the Sun, this time around, Wood enrolled himself for a
detoxification program after he went out of control in a restaurant. The
57-year old artist reportedly got so drunk that he crawled under the
tables in the restaurant and tried to bite off people's ankles.

"The problem for him is always when the Stones come off tour - he finds
it hard to occupy his time. He realized it had got hold of him again
when he was at a restaurant with his wife Jo and Kate Moss. But his
frame of mind is very positive.

Ronnie is getting a lot out of his treatment," the report quoted an
insider as saying. (ANI)"

It works. It works even with 12 steps. But it works for more
people when they are not fed the religious drivel of AA's 12 steps.

HP-G

For me, re-hab has been effective means of coming off the drink. It entailed
a 2-week course of Librium at a local recovery centre. The first time I
lasted 7 months before drinking again, the second 6 years and the third 3
months. Although, the third time was 3 months ago and I'm still not
drinking. Hopefully, I'll last a bit longer this time, lol.

Mias,

It worked for me. But you have to WANT to be there. If
you're there to humor and please others, the benefit will be lost.
Also, once returning from rehab, a good after-care program is always a
good idea. For it to be successful, support from family and friends
is a must and will help.

Also, you may want to consider a detox center. Depending on
the severity and amount of consumption. If withdrawal symptoms are
present when he stops drinking; shaking, sweating, dizziness, nausea,
loss of appetite, etc. you may want to consider this. It is very
dangerous to stop drinking without medical supervision. Seizures can
take place in certain cases. In certain cases, death can even occur.

Good luck with everything, Mias.

Thank you all for advice. Will run it one day at a time. It is bad when
alcohol starts ruining your life once more without drinking self! It is 6 am
now and my stepson went god knows where last night, without money, returning
3 am and sloshed. My wife and I can only take so much lying awake and
wondering what is going on.
Kind regards

mias,
why don't you and your wife talk to someone at your local treatment
center, for some advise about "the family" of alcoholics, and the
help and support they need!

It seems to me that, in some ways, this can drive a person more insane
than if they were drinking... at least booze took off the "edge" for a
while

If junior is big enough to go out alone at night and get sloshed, he's
big enough to feed, clothe and house himself.

Until that day arrives, I'm afraid that even with the best of
intentions what your wife and yourself are doing is called "enabling".
Until that day arrives, you can expect more sleepless nights.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to "let go".
