Oh sorry but they have been using every day more or less for a month now , they only started as their son is an addict and think they were around it and just had it a couple of times and obviously bloody liked the feeling it gave them

[nannyt]

Thanks for reply and I agree it’s dope sick . They have agreed to let me help them come off this , don’t know how long the sickness will last , but hopefully not too long . They are feeling very nauseous today and sweating , do you know if this is all part of the process , is there anything else I can do to make this easier for them . Cooking food but there not really eating , giving them plenty of fluids etc

[nannyt]

Thankyou for understanding , it’s an awful thing and has destroyed so many families , but one thing I have learnt is acceptance fir what they are and the hope that one day they will see the light and get clean . I hope you don’t mind me asking but dies your daughter inject or smoke . Stay safe and think of yourself x

Since my last post my son is now back on the streets , I actually saw him begging last week outside the £1 shop. When I saw him I think it made me finally realise that I just cannot help him anymore . I try not to think about him too much because it makes me so sad , and I don’t want to be sad all the time. I’m so sorry that your parents are addicts and that your dad got your mum on drugs , must be painful for you too. But like you said they are the only ones that can do it not us , we can support them when that time comes . Stay safe

I totally understand this , I have just put my son out . He is probably in the streets again and already has a black eye . I as a mother done everything I could to help, encourage , support and put a roof over his head and good in his belly . But still he chooses drugs . It’s so hard but this time I have to be strong and disconnect from him . It was overtaking my life and destroying me yet again . Still he says it’s all my fault and all the verbal abuse again . I still see my son in there somewhere , but he will never come to my home again till he is clean and I will drug test him . The choices he makes now will determine what he wants , my heart is broken yet again but I know this is for the best . Stay safe everyone during this time of Uncertainty in our country . Bless you all

How ??? Any advice or help appreciated

My son is on methadone and still using, he was on the streets and then went to prison for 3 weeks , when he came out I thought this is it , but it isn’t. I feel like I’m coming to the end with it all and chucking him out . I’ve done everything possible and even let him back into my home again , it’s bloody heartbreaking , I find some comfort in reading book about addicts and it learns me stuff I never knew . But one things for sure , my son is not ready to give up , this I know . I believe he’ll be back in prison soon and I can rest easy and sleep soundly . My heart goes out to you and everyone on here . Sometimes we have to think of ourselves and our own welfare and the rest of our family . One thing is very true they will only stop when they are ready , doesn’t matter about substitute or breaking their parents hearts or seeing their mother crying , they only care about their next fix . So we must go on and try to fix ourselves as we cannot fix them , only they can do that . If you want the names of any books I have quite a few I can point you towards just ask . They may bring you some comfort as they do me

I had to use a epi pen needle the other day as he was unresponsive when I came back to the house with very shallow breathing and so so pale , oh all such a worry

[nannyt]

He’s been checked for needle marks everywhere and none. He does smoke in a pipe when he’s out of the house crack and heroin. It was his eyes and his drowsiness this morning , I’ve seen him after a hit and that’s how he is . I know he’s been using of a night time indoors but couldn’t make out how as no paraphernalia anywhere. So I’m sure he’s doing it through his vape pen . Thanks for reply I’m sure I’ll get to the bottom of it eventually

[nannyt]

That’s what I thought that maybe it’s just crack , I told him to be honest and not lie , least we know what we’re dealing with then, thankyou for advice

[nannyt]

I’ve just found out that my son is also using crack cocaine , and I think he’s been using just cocaine. Will this make a difference to the methadone he’s on do you know . I’m beginning to get bloody angry now with it all as he’s not helping himself thanks for listening

[nannyt]

Oh and he’s only on 30 mg so I thought it should be upped , that may help more

[nannyt]

He has to see the CGL doctor on Thursday so I’ll write it down for him , what to ask . He tried subutex but didn’t like it . He was struggling so bad earlier today, then he seemed ok , now he said he going out for a while, I’m sure to score . Do you know if he will be drug tested at CGL as this I’m not sure of.

[nannyt]

Not any other drugs no, and have to go through the gp for referral back to mental health , as he missed so many appointments when he was using and on the street

[nannyt]

Oh thankyou , sometimes it’s such a struggle , especially with his mental health issues as well. He has to go CGL this week for his new script, I advised him to ask to up the dose , hope this hold him thanks
