Hi everyone. Just like to share my story about my son . He been smoking weed and taking pills for around a year I guess, tho he tells me he only smokes weed now.

We have had resilient family , Frank , camhs help, although in reality they were no help at all. If my son does want to give up and will make an effort they probably will help but to someone who doesn’t want to give up they are treated as a joke.

The stress , disappointment and worry is unbearable and has hugely affected our family. I have searched online for help for him but every site always gives the same old statements about educating him about drugs etc. We have been through this so many times , every angle , everything these sites say to do we have done. Bottom line is there is no help for someone who does not want to give up. I find this very worrying and somewhat displays the fact that help of this nature is not possible.

Please feel free to add anything to this post. Thanks for reading.

I feel your pain my boyfriend has been addicted to coke for 5 years and its hell watching him destroy himself. The truth is an addict wont seek help until they realise they have a problem and want the help. Have you spoken to a doctor. I can’t really offer much advise but you need to look after yourself as hard as that sounds.

Hi dav.. im 36 now… but when i was 14 i was exactly the same.. and my mum was exactly the same as you. I was really bad on weed at the time. It effected my GCSEs, and its one of my biggest regrets and it still bothers me now. I just messed around in school all the time. My mum was screaming at me all the time, and im ashamed to admit it i put holes in a few doors in our house through anger.

My mum and dad was totally against drugs and both had good jobs. I quit it in the end.

But i had a great time with my mates and great memorys, but i wish i never hung around with any one that did drugs. Thats a major factor.. one bad apple does really spread.

How is he doing in school?

The only things i could suggest is… keep making him aware of the bad side effects.. show him this message were i regret messing my GCSEs up and my career.

He is not really going to stop till hes had enough. I hated the stuff in the end and it made my chest really sore.

I quit it on my own and it was hard, and i wont lie to you it does lead to other drugs.

He could just grow out of it.
