my stepson in 25 yrs old and he is addicted to marijuana. We have a family business and with his addiction he is running his father to the grave. Me, being the stepmother, i dont want to get caught up in the middle of it but its starting to affect my relationship. This young man insults his dad, takes money from the store, gives merchandise away to his friends and at the end of the day when his father tells him NO--he wants to fight him......I dont know what to do!! I told my husband to cut him off completely because if this continues, his son will never realize he has a problem. This is a very delicate situation and its needs special attention. Please help :(

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
boundaries and he's clearly not doing that. I would definitely express that your relationship with him is being jeopardized by this situation. Does he want people to think that he does this too? It could ruin your business. Sad.
Thanks for responding to my post about drinking:)
I'd suggest Alanon. A organization that helps people close to addicts. If they can't assist with drugs other than alcohol they'll have references.
Also Google "enabler".
Changing the subject I have been told:
There is no physical withdrawels from Marijuana. I.e. no sweating, DT's that sort of thing.
There is a mental addiction however which can be as debiliting as physical.
I'd be interested in what you observed in his six month freedom from the drug.
