- I know that teens can be very manipulative but add a addict or recovering one to the mix and yikes! My husband can be very easily manipulated by our son, 16. Although he's getting better at standing his ground, there are times that my son will get...
- My son was drug tested by the outpatient center he attends and his creatinine levels weren't where they should be. He's been drinking a lot of water, bringing 4 bottles of water to school with him in the morning. He also has lots of water in his...
- My sixteen year old son drinks lots of water. Taking 4 bottles of water with him to school in the morning. I noticed that he has bottles of water in his bedroom too. Says he's thirsty all of the time. I noticed he also has a huge appetite, but I...
- My son is started an outpatient program a few weeks ago (3x's a week) - so he's had about 6, 3 hour sessions so far. Tonight was our first family "group" therapy session. I say "group" because there was only one other boy. This boy doesn't talk so...
- Has anyone read the book "Beautiful Boy" by David Sheff? I found that the book was helpful in that I could relate to many of the feelings this father experienced through his son's drug addiction. While reading David Sheff's book, it confirmed my...
- I have learned so much in Al Anon which has helped me in my "recovery" while my son has been recovering. It's been almost 2 months that he's been clean and without even attending rehab. Who would have thought his recovery would happen so quickly and...
- After 6 months of being high on just about every drug out there - everyday, our 16 year old has stopped using about 6 weeks ago. I didn't think he was capable of stopping on his own. He did it because of the threat of jail or having to be sent away...
- My son has not relapsed, thankfully, but I have. I am not using drugs just falling into a funk (like I did when he was using and when I had no support) despite the fact that I attended Al Anon on Monday, support group on Wednesday, and another Al...
- My 16 year old son has been on house arrest for sometime now and for the last 4 weeks (he may have slipped once) has been clean and doing well. Even though I can tell by his behavior, I also monitor his conversations on-line that he is not engaging...
- Please send some ((hugs)) and support to mgs1's. She really could use some prayers, too. Thanks
- I asked someone (a professional) for advice about my situation with my 16 year old addicted son and I know I sounded pathetic - worrying about this and that....and next thing I know I'm being told I'm a codependent. I am a newer member of al anon...
- Just wondering........ My son, 16, has been tested positive for heroin. He just started using. Has anyone tried it a few times but then was able to stop? He's had so support yet but that will be starting soon. He'll be going to outpatient,...
- I NOTICED THAT THERE ISN'T A HEROIN SUPPORT GROUP. SO I AM CHECKING ON HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS TRIED HEROIN OR HAS OVERCOME USING IT. I KNOW THIS A HARD ONE TO STOP USING BUT WE JUST RECEIVED OUR 16 YR. OLD SON'S DRUG TEST RESULTS AND ONE OF THE...
- I looked all over the net for skateboard and couldn't find anything. Could this be a new one or their own slang? My son's friend asked my son, on line, if he likes the boards with the naked chicks. He responded by saying he doesn't like Batman...
- Son's eyes looked glassy. Not sure if he took anything or not. He let me know he took niacin to flush out his system of pot. I looked it up and from what he tells me his symptoms are matches what it says on the site. He seems normal. Not sure.
