Hi everyone , I’m new to this forum, my son is 32 yrs old and had been smoking heroin and crack cocaine for about 18 months now, maybe a bit longer . It’s been so heartbreaking . He went to prison , only a 3 week sentence , he’s now on methodone daily , his mental health has deteriorated greatly . Suppose what I’m asking is that he’s staying back with me short term until he gets his council place, but I’m so paranoid with everything . Want to know where he is what he’s doing , I feel like a wreck with worry . He was awake all night last night so I have my suspicions , just hope I’m wrong . Is it normal for me to be behaving this way , or am I just being silly . Thanks from a heartbroken paranoid mother

Its normal. My boyfriend has been addicted to coke for 6 years and has had times where he stayed clean for 5 weeks and then relapses. Even when clean I would have the fear everytime he went out everytime he got a text. I’m suspicious all the time. It’s not easy living an addict as you really hope they will sort themselves out but they wont until they want to and are ready.

Oh I know , but even today he’s gone to get his hair cut , and I’m wondering what he’s doing . I haven’t got money but a member of my sons family is very wealthy and I think I’m at the point I’m going to ask them to pay for him to go in a rehab. I feel so sorry for him at times and I know it’s hard for them , but I suppose whatever they choose is their choice . I feel like I’m the one going mad

Does anyone know someone who’s been in a rehab and stayed clean or is it all a waste of time, at my wits end with worry
