Hello Guys just wanted to say that I attended my first virtual support meeting last night and it was really beneficial. People shared their stories which was cathartic.

The focus was on using tools and the priority was self care.

It was thought provoking and the face to face felt very inclusive- so not alone!

It can be another “string to your bow” if your families or Carers.

This site is great for dealing with the immediate situation and reaching out to others, And the specialist “ insight” advice From others who know the score! 🙂

He has been lying in his bed “grouching” since Wednesday. He is so out of it he can’t even remember to feed the fish. He thinks he is no doing any harm “I no bothering anyone”

He had thinks he needed to do but can’t for grouching. He swears he will be clean of drugs next week but until then he thinks it should all be sweetness and light!

I am feeling very angry and really dislike him. I think horrible thoughts about him and don’t like who I am becoming.

So need to think how best to get by for me. It’s so negative with him in the home. He has no friends and nowhere to go. He is not a survivor!

Am I wrong to cajole him to getting up, having a conversation Think about the outside world.

Or do I just let him be!

How does someone detach from your own!

[cathsp]

Can someone describe the steps of “detaching” in the process of drug addict son and ME- mother please!!

[cathsp]

Thank you both BT1978 and kel1

[cathsp]

U might be or have have an addict but you have an big Caring Personality And an even biggar heart ????, Clearly you wish to give something back by sharing your story an insight.

It has helped me so much.

You make a difference and Keep making a difference, people like you are special

[cathsp]

Sorry I don’t understand your last. Message but would welcome the insight please.

I am sssssssoooooo angry at him today honest I think if I keep confronting him it is not going to a good end today.

And he swears that the drug test will be clean on 31 July and from that day onwards

Now I don’t think he has access to A endless supply of clean urine.

But wondered if you look at this from the View of cycle change is this the pre-contemplation stage or the contemplation stage or just the never ending running around of addictive behaviour.

Help Pls as I despair !

[cathsp]

Thanks for your response.

I do suspect that he is using although maybe not as much.

He only relapse on 13 May After two years break. He claims to have stopped for 9 days. I know that he was trying to buy DHC on Saturday- which he denies.

He didn’t eat yesterday as he said he felt sick.

I feel really powerless as he could simply start again and my life becomes shit again.

I will keep posting as I think it will be an long emotional journey

Thanks again

[cathsp]

I am sure a thorough search will reveal more but I am sick ???? of the sight of him right now to be honest

Thanks it’s so good to have this forum I don’t feel alone

He was addicted to opiates and paracetamol and/ or anadin extra will boost a opiate.

He will be up to no good for sure. 11 empty packets each containing 16 tabs in each packet!

[cathsp]

Hello Folks

I have just found 11 empty packages of paracetamol and Annadin extra in my son room. Apparently for a headache!!!!!!

He is always drowsy and looks out of it.

I am aware that if these tablets are taken with opiates it boosts the hit?

Does anyone have any views/ thoughts ?

[cathsp]

Relapse

I have linked him up to a zoom meeting right now. Fingers crossed

[cathsp]

No he was very non- commital about the service online or otherwise unfortunately

Do you think I could just link it up online and continue to support him.

I did not want to do that as thought it might be ethically wrong but honest never done anything like myself so don’t know what to expect.

Could you advise pls
