My 16 yearold son says he has been using meth since 3-06. Although I suspect it was sooner. He has told me that he has tried just about every drug except Heroin because he is afraid of the needle. In the summer of 05 he quit hanging around me and started smoking. Around the winter of 05 I found weed in his room along with a bottle of Vodka. He told me he was selling the Vodka to by weed. I sent him to a 45 day Wilderness camp the day after Thanksgiving. He missed Christmas with us by a few days but we celibrated it when he got home {His 10 year old brother didnt mind} He tried to stay clean for a few weeks but it just kept getting worse. By the summer he had amassed 4 tickets for truancy,pot poss, theft. I was hoping the courts would help us and give him probation but they put everything off and gave informal unsupervised probation. What a joke! Thing just got unbearable he was stealing from us and had sold everything he owned. We had to lock our bedroom door when we were at home because he would steal anything. he would get angry at us or his girlfried and smash holes in his walls and door. He broke 3 phones ect...
In 09-07 I sent him to a therapputic boarding school. Now he says he is clean and wants to come home and get his GED and join the military when he is 17 in May. He dosent want to miss another Christmas away from home. I want to keep him in the school till he is 17 and has his GED. Too many of his old friends around here. I just dont think 3,4,5 months is enough time to learn new skills. I could use some support and HELP. I dont care if he hates me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
