I understand your post...we've been at this a long time. It wouldn't matter if I showed him a picture of everyone who has died from drugs. His best friend overdosed and is now in sad shape. he can't feed himself without special utinsils, he cant bathe himself, and you can't hardly understand his speaking...........and that doesn't make a difference I don't know what will. Only the will to want to quit and a lot of hard work........but that's up to him. I have his stuff in bags on the porch. Haven't heard from him all day but evidently our house wasn't the only place he showed out at last night.........so he was really on a roll. I have seen it many times. but not any more.
 
Flint, i wish i could say something to make you feel better.. i understand completely.michael lost frienRAB the same exact way he died. he had no fear of dying.
we coudnt stop him..just like you cant stop your son. Stopping is a lot of hard hard work..just ask Reach..What i can tell you is that mikes addiction destroyed my life, whether i chose to let it or not..It took everything out of me..sucked the life out of me..now that hes gone, i dont care if i live or die..PLEASE PLEASE work on yourself ..go to a therapist..live your life..His addiction is not your battle to fight..You pray for my boy in heaven and i will pray for your son..
 
i feel sorry for you parents. i know you have done the best you can and tried again and again and again. i guess the word enabler is true. if you keep them in your house and that is what happens. i am just trying to detox from legitimate pain meRAB but i didn't realize that when i took one that eventually it would take more. it is so crazy because i divorced my husband for drug use and now i feel like a hippocrit. he used drugs to get high. i took pain meRAB for a legitimate reason and am smart enough to see that they are starting to control me. i don't leave the house without them.

Another thing that you parents can do for your produgal sons is find the nuraber to the nearest homeless shelter and give it to them. Text it to their phone a couple of times so at least you know they are not out in the cold. i will keep yall in my prayers. i have a 17 year old son who doesn't have any drug addictions except tobacco dip. but he has tons of other issues. well wish me luck
 
Things are OK. Son just came by. He is staying with a friend. We had a long talk (as usual) and he seems remorseful, as usual. he's been looking hard for a job, as usual. I tried to give him all this "stuff" he has layed on my shoulders back. He wants to come by later to talk to his dad and brother. I prayed long and hard before he got here and I told God, you have to show me what to say and what to do. and he did. I am taking it all day by day. I think he finally sees that he is about to lose his family because of that damn pill. he stays clean 3-4 months, and then here it goes. That's something he has to control and work through, whether its with meetings, counseling, prayer, whatever. I can't do it and won't do it any more. So, I feel better and I know he feels better. I haven't spoken to him since I kicked him out. I ignore his calls. he needed some gas so I gave him my gas can and he used what was in there. I pray he finRAB a job today. Any job!!!!!!! How are you? I have been thinking about you and your son a lot these days. I know the holidays are going to be tough. But just know that he is with you in spirit and always will be....and he's at peace..........peace is something that is so easy to get, but we all make it so hard!! Bless you and Merry Christmas!!!
 
Glad to hear hes ok..I pray he stays that way..Im feeling pretty crappy, wish i could just sleep right thru Christmas..
 
NOPE YOU DONT SOUND CRUEL AT ALL..I said that Michael was choosing 'THAT WAY OF LIFE" ..Eventually, your son will die or will spend some time in jail from his addiction..IF HE DOESNT CLEAN UP. All you can do is hope and pray that he chooses to clean up..
