- Okay, a break from the norm: Name THE happiest time you had with your addict!My happiest time was in 2007, watching our son stand in formation during is PIR (pass in review) at Navy Boot Camp in IL.....I hadn't seen him for 4 months, he was...
- Yup, that's what I've concluded. Back in March, when our son asked for a couple weeks home, I shoulda said NO FREAKING WAY! But instead I said yes. Here we are in July.....and it was going well until.......the other day. He wasn't feeling good...

- So, Happy July! I was hoping July would bring me MY independence day. Independent from watching our son just continue to struggle getting his life back together. His jail time stint, the one he took for his then GF, the little (insert bad name...
- So, since this whole thing started and I found out about our sons' heroin use and all the bull crap....I have been harboring this ANGER, this awful, insane anger.When he is home, the awful things I think about him are overwhelming....consuming me. ...

- So I was just posting and realized how strong MY Mom must've been.Growing up, my brother had an issue with drugs at an early age as well, in High school, he cut his finger off in shop, he was high, he picked up his finger, went to the teacher and...
- It's raining, fittingly! I'm so done with it all! I'm waving the white flag! I surrender to the fact that I can't do this anymore, that I have done EVERYTHING but put him in shackles and drag his happy butt to a doctor to get himself checked out...
- Well he got the job he interviewed 2x for, got the acceptance ups'd yesterday....THIS is HUGE! But the hubby wonders if he will pass the drug test. Not worried about the felony charges, that is the least of the worries, he thinks I don't know he...
- I am still here, and have come to one conclusion. June 24th can't come soon enough for me. That is the date I gave our son to move out. He has had SO many opportunities come his way and Lord knows I want to 'believe' him but I don't. I just do...
- So, last year this time, our son got released from his jail time. It's been a long year, lots of ups and downs, but we're getting there slowly but surely. He has one job that he travels to about 3 days a week and now just got an interview with a...
- Venting and questioning: Why in GOD's NAME is there such a 'search' by kids for new 'highs'? It makes me question what is going on with our world. When I was a kid, I would NEVER have thought of 1/3rd of these things they do now....cutting A/C...
