And if he can get into a detox and or a rehab center, inpatient, outpatient, whatever it is, even better. I don't know what the specific resources are in your area, but there are almost always free services. There are sliding scale services. There are services covered by insurance.

If Adam can fund a cocaine habit and apparently afford the planes, trains, and automobiles to go from seasonal job to seasonal job, I think he can probably find a way to afford three-day, a five-day detox to start. When he's ready to find help, there is a way to get it. I'm not saying it's going to be a walk in the park, but when you're truly ready to make a change, things do become doable.

The question is, though, is he truly ready? My sense is no. No, he's not, based on what we're hearing.

And his defenses, man, they are strong. It's possible that he'll never hit it. Or if he does, it's going to be really bad and he won't know how to respond to it. I guess I just really want you to understand this and I know it's hard to take in, but this is so essential. Adam is in charge of his recovery. He's in charge of his mental health. He's in charge of the trajectory of his life.

You can help him. You can support him. You can love him, but you cannot save this guy on your own and nothing you do will make a lasting impact until he is ready, at least somewhat to confront this stuff, to confront himself.

But why am I so invested in saving this person who doesn't seem to want to accept my help? Why am I trying so hard to help? And at what point do I stop? Because yes, Adam is wrestling with a serious addiction, but I think you're wrestling with a serious addiction too. And it's kind of an addiction to Adam and to the life that you really want to have with him. If you just work hard enough.

This is kind of one of the main ideas of Al-Anon. Al-Anon, if you don't know, is a support group for friends and family of addicts. And there's this idea that they talk about a lot, that if you're in a relationship, whether it's a friendship or romantic relationship with an addict, then your behavior has also become compulsive.
