and Xanex isn't the answer for a narco addiction.

and there's nothing wrong with him hitting a few 12 step meetings. he may find something to help him STAY clean, not just get clean.

stopping is easy, STAYING stopped is the trick.

good luck! and I highly recommend Alanon for you, it will help you understand what you can and can't do for him.
