It has been some time since I have posted.  I am mom, the crazy mother of a herion addict who has ggone to many extremes to help my son.  Last year at this exact time, I packed his clothes, got on a train, took him to Florida to live in a half way house.  He stayed there for about 4 months and came home.  He has since relapsed.  Every day is gettin worse with him. 

I have done everything I can do.  This addiction is now his responsibility.  I fear he will end up in jail or dead.  All I can do is  pray.  Pray that he finds the desire and strenght to stop.

Hello to Paw and Clint.  You got me through some tough times and I am forever thankful.

MOM from Maryland

Hey Mom, that's what we do, help each other.  I can't stay in recovery unless I give back.  

I'm sorry to hear about your son, but I sure hope you're taking care of yourself.  That's important.  Are you attending any meetings or have a support group for yourself?  Hope so.  Remember we're here for you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!

PAW is correct, as always.  You have to take care of yourself.  Look after you.  Listen to the radio, clean your house, stay physically healthy, go to church/temple, do something exciting for yourself, etc.  It is his responsibility, and as you've learned, it is no longer in your hands.  He has to do the work.  I can't imagine how painful this is to you.  I do hope that you find peace somehow.  Keep active with us.  Do you still have my e-mail?  You can always contact me if you want to talk.  I am here.  All my best,  Clint

Living a happy, joyous, and free life by embracing the mind, body, and spirit.
