Hi, Sherri!

 

I happen to kinda catch something on TV last night as I was nodding

off to sleep that I remembered this morning as I read the responses

to your earlier post.

 

The founders of Passages, a drug rehab place in Malibu were being

interviewed. This is a swishy swishy place to go ($70,000/month!!!

Can you imagine????) But they guarantee success. And they also defy

the convential wisdom that alcoholism is a Disease. A very

interesting concept that goes against how everyone approaches it.

 

Here's their website: http://www.passagesmalibu.com/founder-chris-

and-pax.html

 

I know you're thinking " what does this have to do with my son? "

Well, they said alcoholism, etc., is more founded in pain, fears,

emotions, etc. that simply need to be addressed and dealt with. I

think over-eating would fit into the same scheme of things.

 

The father wrote a book about his experiences of helping his

son, " The Alcohol and Addiction Cure - a Wholistic Approach to

Recovery " , here's the link for that:

(I wish the CD was less expensive ... I'd get it.)

 

Any way, I think a previous poster was right in saying maybe a

different therapist -- and maybe include family members.
