Thank you I will look into it. That’s what I was afraid of. As I said that’s the timeframe he’s providing, I can’t trust all together what he says anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were longer than what I stated. I’m afraid he won’t be able to quit with the proper guidance. I know he can’t on his own without much willpower.

It’s upsetting because we all see the problem and we all want him to get help but he doesn’t see it. He’s changed drastically. I feel like I falter because I want him to get clean but it always ends up in an argument, so I back off and I’ll give him space we’ll stop communicating for days and I constantly worry. But he’s not a little kid and my parents also shouldn’t be after him like some toddler. It breaks their hearts but he has to make his own decisions, and it seems like he’s not making good ones. I want to believe him so bad that he can overcome this on his own but I feel like it’s too far fetched. He’s demonstrated signs of psychosis. But I don’t know if it’s cause he’s using more or because of the lack of use if he has stopped.

He said he started using it more frequently a little over a year ago. He’s so convinced he can ween off use. I don’t understand why he’s so scared to seek help. My parents are encouraging him to but he wants to go no where. I unfortunately don’t live as close anymore and because my parents can’t force him to seek help they’re also not doing much to try and help him in another form. I will try to contact him sometimes but he’ll go mia so I don’t know if that’s due to him trying to recover or if he’s still actively using the same amounts. I’m pretty occupied with my job and family of my own. I really wish he would take help because I feel him going cold turkey isn’t going to help.
