Hi Lindyloo
Thank you so much for replying. I really hope that your son recovers – so many people do seem to have the strength to live a sober and clean life.
Unfortunately, my son still doesn’t seem willing to put in the immense work needed. I realise the future is scary for him, but there aren’t even the tiniest signs that he wants to change.
There was nothing in prison – because of Covid, all activities were cancelled. He spent 23 and a half hours in a cell throughout his sentence. Just before he was released, his cellmate got Covid and he was made to stay in the cell with him, so by the time he reached me, he had Covid too.
This morning he was out at 10am getting alcohol. I think he is stealing much of it, as he’s on benefits and they don’t cover much (although I have no idea how much he is getting and I hope he isn’t lying about his circumstances). He also gets prescription meds from the doctor, has a daily methadone prescription and then buys diazepam and other stuff from the internet when he gets his benefit money.
I’ll look at the Theresa thread right now, and will look out for the other recommendations you’ve given me too.
Just to know there are other people out there who understand is a huge thing.
You take care too, and thank you again ❤️
