Nearly 30 and even I feel lots of life in me still. It’s very sad he is at this point. I know you have probably already tried this but maybe counciling ? Find out the root cause for his deep rooted desire to do this ? Or maybe he is just genuinely addicted due to the prescription drugs when he was young and now wants harder stuff, I’m no expert just want you try help you as much as possible as your post did upset me. I really hope
Your ok. Does he have friends around him ? What are they like ? Maybe when all
Lockdown is over a little holiday to show him what life’s really about and what he can be doing instead of making him self unwell and you also. Explain to him
How you feel and that this is emotionally draining. I Honestly don’t have the answers as my children are young
And I can’t relate. His ptsd could
Be the root? I don’t know. I’m sorry I couldn’t be much help I’m always here

Has he tried to get help ? People say the GP is the first call, they could refer him to his nearby drugs and alcohol service. I am staying with my son at the moment, he is 35 in July. He is on a detox for heroin at home. I live 2 hours drive away, so worry when we don’t here from him, and his phone is permanently switched off. I called 111, as he was quite sick, and they called an ambulance. He refused to go to hospital. Doing cold turkey at home is hard. I tried to get him a referral to a local drugs and substance organisation nearby, he refused to speak to them, saying he wasn’t in the mood, I will try again tomorrow. He was asking when I was going home, and I said I wanted to make sure he was ok, he said he’s ok. I feel he’s in denial with his addiction, I am at a loss at what to do.
