That is wonderful, thank you Icarus Trust! I have looked your service up and it looks very interesting, my son and I have tried a few agencies, but until he wants the help it is very difficult to seek recovery! I can only keep telling my story and hope that their is purpose in it somehow!
Hi Cant Take No More! It is definitely such a blurred line that separates helping and enabling especially when you are smack in the middle of chaos and as you say, see so much pain that you want to do anything to help! I wrote that post a while ago and since then my son was told to leave. It is hard and sad but better for us all, and as you say, I wish I could have done it sooner! I still have contact with my son and still try to support him with positive decisions but I will not watch him or help him to get deeper into his addiction. 🙁
Thank you very much Icarus_Trust! This post was actually written a while ago, from my blog, but as a family we are trying very hard to find some recovery even though my son is ready to. As a family we must try to stop the guilt and anger and dysfunction we have all become too familiar with and start to begin again! Thank you so much for your kind comment, I have bookmarked your website!
Thank you Icarus_Trust! I have been blogging about our life with addiction for about a year now and it helps me to research and try to understand, as well as to use it as a tool to help others and for me to try to make sense of it all.

I also have a Facebook page: Trying to Survive Addiction Within the Family
It is mostly to give inspiration to others suffering in one way or another with addiction. I have shared your website on that page for I have not heard of it before and it looks very interesting.
I will also speak to my son and see how he would feel about seeking some help.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment, it is much appreciated.Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment as well “can’t take no more”. I also have an addicted son, yet he has not been able to stay clean only while in a 7 day detox at the hospital, then he went straight back on to whatever he could get his hand on! Addiction is painful and takes it’s toll on all of the family! I am so happy to read that your son is 63 days clean! I wish him continued success and hopefully he will continue to grow in strength as well. I wish all of you recovery and eventually new beginnings!
