Jem a month ago before my son got his beating he was adamant that the 12 steps and other services were a waste of time. things can change, obviously it took something dramatic but I cant beleive he is now saying how much 12 steps is helping. So I just want you to know beleive that he can change his mind.
I’m under no illusion that a mnth is nothing really and even this weekend my son nearly relapsed.
Valium is horrible my son was a right state on it so I know how scary it is seeing g them like that.
The dealers are scumbags. So much more needs to be done.
The fact they now can get it delivered to your door too, as easy as a food delivery is scary.
Ladies try and enjoy easter the lovely blossom daffodils anything to take your mind off thingsxx
Oh god jem I k ow when u last posted you were worried about him.
Hold.in there he got clean before and he can do it again.
Has he said he wants to get of fit again.?
Just make sure u look after yourself. Easier said but any strategies mindfulness anything to look after yourself. This is alot to deal with. Big hugs and thinking of you xx

Jenny that is such good news for you.
My son is also doing well he just got his months medal from AA and is finding AA really helpful and has a really good sponsor so hes a month clean of drink and drugs.
Hoping he stays on track.
So yes we have to cling knto hope.
Lindyloo how was your scan?
Thinking of everyone.x
Oh lindyloo I.am so.sorry to here that. Your son had done so well. Has he managed to get back on track?
After my sons beating he is engaging with AA and drug and alcohol services hes been off everything for nearly a.month. I hope he can continue turning that corner.
I am now in covid rehab and starting to get better gradually.
I’ve had my jab too as was so scared getting it again.
I hope your lung scan is ok. I’ve been given a asthma inhaler which seems to help a bit.
All take care of yourselves. I think of u all and the pressure we live under let’s pray our kids get there.xx

welcome to thread stevie, i think you were spot on with what you wrote about seeing your child within the adult and wanting to rescue them. It doesnt matter how old they are they are still our children thats what is so hard.
I definately find it helps to write things down although someone wrote in this thread how sometimes its hard when things are particularly bad to just even write things down and i can relate to that too.
well done lindyloo long may good things continue.
Debc its so good that your son is speaking to someone sometimes just getting them to that point is a massive step forward and means they are showing steps to change and engage and recognizing their behaviours.
My son has also had a bad girlfriend they both are bad for each other so i get your concern when another woman comes on the scene who could be a negative influence.
yes happy mothers day all.
So sorry Jem that you have this stress. Does he get packages delivered? Could he be getting them sent to the house?
Are you able to speak to him about it, ? I know my son hits the roof whenever I speak to him but if you can ask him? If he denies it ask wld he mind you drug testing him, if he has nothing to hide then hopefully he wld agree and u can know it’s not drugs that is the problem. Also maybe if its def not drugs cld you speak to the family gp as it looks like there is a mental health issue here. Some drs are better than others I know. Explain hes not eating not co.ing out room etc ..one wld hope they take it seriously.
Also can u sneak in his room at any point and check for any drugs paraphanalia hidden?
Such a worry for you.
Not sure if i wrote on here about my son ..so much has happened but he got badly beaten up and hospitalised. Now has metal plates in his mouth.the hospital wanted him discharged to us so I made a point of saying he cldnt come here unless there was mental health and support in place. On discharge the home treatment mental health team visited and said they beleive he has a personality disorder but until hes clean of drink and drugs cannot do anything anyway. They then discharged him but at least I have some sort of diagnosis. Also he has got a short term place at a homeless hostel he has strict rules and is breathalyzed everytime he enters the property and drug tested twice a week. If he fails hes out. He also has an outreach worker and has got the local drug and alcohol team who did used to engage with back in touch so I hope he engages with them. This place is a pathway to a organisation that helps young people with various issues where if he passes a period of sobriety etc will get a residential place. Its not rehab but very close. I’m hoping he will agree to it as he will have to agree to not leave once hes there and have no contact with friends. Anyway after leaving me yesterday he had done 10 days without drink and drugs after a week in hospital. I just hope that he can go in the right direction. Been a stressful 10 days but my cbt through the dr is helping.
I think of everyone on here all the time and really hope and pray that our loved ones come through this awful time. But look after yourselves most importantly. X
I agree Lindyloo. But arn’t we all so fed up of picking up the pieces having our lives so affected and blighted by it.
I don’t feel i truly enjoy life with all this constantly going on. Im now on antidepresents.
My cbt is helping but when the proverbial hits the fan like it has this week, its so hard to put things to the back of your mind.
big hugs all
