Hope your ok.. but he really does need want to do it for himself. I bet it is heartbreaking watching your son like this. No one wants that happen to there children. Can he go to rehab if he wants to?

Yes if he shows commitment, cuts down on use etc etc – seems like too big an ask sadly. Another week. Another broken promise to come and see us. Just seems to his little family he prefers the life he has – driven by drugs 24/7, such is the power of drug addiction. Christmas on the way (last year he didn’t share it with his family, an empty seat at the Xmas dinner table) but this year I’ve decided will be all about caring for the family I have and especially my darling grandson who is 6 in November. Very very tough and I feel for all families of addicts for what should be happy family time. Ty Danman83- I’m happy you got in touch. So kind.

My mate is bad on heroin and is really not looking good. But he told me he avoids everyone because he doesnt want people to see him like this. It could be that as well.

When hes ready hopefully he will come round. Ive read a book on 1 guy who was a coke addict for 24 year and is 11 year clean now.. and he lost everything. Some people have to really hit rock bottom or lose someone to realise. Hope your ok anyway.

Yes Danman83 I’m ok. Ty for your wise words. He’s just called to see me. Didn’t look too bad and says he is waiting for a call to tell him bed is ready at rehab centre. He sounded very positive about it and says “I’m ready Mum”. Proof of the pudding ….so we’ll see. I’m crossing all my fingers toes etc!

Well at least its a start. But when he comes out he needs just stay away from everyone really who he knows,who does drugs. Hope it goes well for you.
