Hi

Well done on your achievement!

I am sure that it’s someone in my son’s friendship group that is selling to him, I caught them putting a bag of it under the wheel of his car when he had asked me to take his car keys and not let him out. It makes a lot of sense to delete all contacts and social media – he is always on his mobile. I have sent him the link for CA but as yet he hasn’t looked. I don’t know too much about the process but if he is prepared to investigate this I am sure it would help. The biggest issue is that he thinks that he is ‘not like the people who go to group meetings’, he is lying to himself and everyone else. He has a lovely girlfriend who has no idea of his addiction.

I have had a long chat with him and told him if he does not help himself then he will have to leave, he then turned this around saying I was the bad person and that I was throwing him out. I’ve told him to think about what I have said and I will try again when he is calm. He asked me to take his bank cards and his keys as he wants to stop, but I believe he is saying this as it is what I want to hear, because as soon as I have to leave the house for work he is going out and getting more.

I am worried that him leaving will make him worse, but also staying will just enable him to carry on!

A long road ahead – but I am determined to help him, if he lets me.

Good luck with your road to recovery and thanks for your advice.
