Hi 68862
I’m glad that your son’s visit went well. I hope for his sake and yours that this positivity continues.
Thinking of you all, try and enjoy the good weather while it’s here.
Sending hugs ❤️

I feel the same about seeing people living on the street.
Now I find it hard to walk past without giving them something to eat and drink. I just think that my son could be in that position so easily and I’d like to think someone would help him.
Things can change for the better or worse very quickly when they have addictions as I’m sure you all know.
Hugs to all

Hi all
Ivy – I’m so sorry to read your story and what’s happened to your son recently.
The lack of empathy from some people is shocking, they don’t realise that there’s a caring family involved in a lot of cases.
It would be great if we could meet and have an empathetic shoulder to cry on. I will continue to keep us all in my prayers and hope for a miracle.
I agree that the scumbag dealers are the lowest of the low and hopefully soon there will be tougher sentences for them.
I heard that the Scottish government are putting more into drug rehabilitation and support, maybe this will be a way forward for our sons.
Take care of yourself Ivy.

I’m sorry to hear that you had that shocking experience. How dare these people speak to you like that! As if you’re not hurt enough.
Thinking and praying for you both.

Hi February Marie
I hope all goes well for you and your son. That’s great that he’s been clean since April and willing to talk to you.
I pray that God will give you strength to know what to say and do.
Sending hugs ❤️

Jem- I also think of the ‘should be’s”. You could think about this all the time, but we know we’re just punishing ourselves.
Sometimes you need to ‘have a moment’ or a vent, a problem shared…and all that!
I had my vent yesterday, feel a bit better today thankfully. Hubby is feeling low though.
Kate1- I often feel that I’m in mourning too, for the way my son was, or as a child. I feel like he’s a lost soul just now. Glad you’ve had a positive moment- a way forward, which is good.
Sending hugs ❤️

Jem, i try to remind myself of that. He’s a grown man not a little boy making his own choices in life.
Yes, so thankful that we all have each other here.

Hi Kate1, he has lost his key, he used a crowbar at the weekend to get in while he was using!
I told him if he’s worried during an episode to phone ambulance.
What a life they live (and us!)
Lx
I also felt ill watching him drink those tins like his life depended on it. Very sad ????
I’ll be at work tomorrow so I’ll be distracted for a bit.
Thanks Debc xx
No Debc, he wouldn’t give us a key. I just text him daily to make sure I get a reply.

Thanks 68862
I’m all cried out, I must be hardening up to it.
Yes, we’ll all keep praying for a miracle ????

That’s addiction I guess, it’s like a rollercoaster for them and for us. But I did say to him that it’s all down to him to make the change.
I’ll maybe read the book another time.

Thanks Debc, yes it’s very frustrating. I just worry that he’ll drink until he’s unconscious and maybe lies for days.
He never gave us a spare key and he lives alone. He’s drinking way too much and using too. Such a worry, I feel so helpless, I wasn’t sure i did the right thing taking him some beer.
Lx
Yeah, I hope so, I guess I’ll need to get my rosary beads out again!
Such a shame when he was doing so well a few months ago.

Hi all, I’ve been reading your posts, feeling a bit down tonight.
I phoned drugfam earlier regarding my son. They pretty much said what Bump has said and February Marie said too. Time to step back some, let go a bit, think of our own health etc.
I was right in guessing that my son had relapsed again. He has no money left and it’s only 8th of month! He wanted me to bring him beer to help taper off as he had the shakes. He looked rough but managed to eat something.
He said he was close to phoning an ambulance at weekend.
I feel I can talk to you guys here as most of you have been there too and worse.
The drugfam guy said to read a book called ” Mum can you lend me £20?” I’ve heard it mentioned on the forum before.
Thinking and praying for us all and our boys.
Lx ????
