Thanks Bump I know how much you’ve been through, especially with Covid added in. I am fortunate that my son isn’t on the streets, but that is the thing I really fear. He does want to stop but feels he’s spent most of the last year fighting and not using and he’s just tired. I’m sure he will want to get clean. Last time he relied heavily on cannabis for sleep and just getting through so he’s not really been properly sober. I’d like him to go to rehab when he’s ready to do this again but he has no confidence in that as a solution. He won’t seek help because he reads everything there is on the internet and believes he knows what he needs to know and can do it by himself, so no 12 steps or Smart Recovery. A couple of weeks ago he was taking Valium as well and I was making calls to try and get him sectioned. I don’t think I’ve ever been more frightened, it was like there was nothing of his personality left. I know it will get better, and I’m sorry to sound so negative. I am encouraged by more positive stories on here. It does give me hope. Thank you for letting me have my big moan, it helps.
