- Jimmy passed away peacefully surrounded by friends and family on Thursday February 11, 2016. His brain damage was extensive, his lungs were shutting down and we moved him to hospice care earlier in the day. He died about 4 hours later, in my arms,...
- He overdosed on Heroin. It's 3am and I am sitting next to my son in the intensive care unit watching his body wretch from the tubes and drug withdrawal. He was found on the floor of a laundromat last night, no wallet. Only his cell which was dead....
- Hello all. Me again. Nothing has changed and now Jimmy is missing since last night. Do I think he overdosed somewhere? Maybe. Is he in jail? Who knows. This f'in roller coaster is a never ending ride. He was doing so well. Went to rehab in...
- I have missed you - all of you. Today's update is not about Jimmy, who is now 4 months clean. Still having a lot of trouble finding and keeping a job (we're on the 15th now), but he is in active outpatient treatment, taking his meds and getting...
- We got a call at midnight. Jim and some of his roommates tested positive for meth. I just spoke to Jim 2 days ago and he told me how he was off all the meds, feeling good and really wanted to get better. He said that this year was different. Last...
- Last year at this time, Jimmy walked out of a rehab facility, no intention of completing the program. I came home from work today to find out that He went back to the same inpatient facility in Florida and voluntarily checked himself in. He called...
- Thought he was doing better this past month but boy, did he have us fooled. He even took a drug test 3 weeks ago and was totally clean. He was having a hard time finding a job and got depressed so the doctor prescribed Zoloft and Suboxone (1/2 film...
- Last night for the first time in a long time I saw "drug addict Jimmy" resurface. The anger, the desperation, the frustration in yourself and life. It hurts. To see you so lost and alone hurts. Jimmy. I am your mother and I love you. But I don't...
- Hi all. Been quite an active few months since I last posted. Jimmy took a drug test at home yesterday and was positive for opiates. He has officially relapsed and at, least, this time, he is on his own. No help from us and he has to deal with...
- I started taking paxil roughly 3 weeks ago and am up to 20 mg but now I can't sleep. I have no problem falling asleep. By 830pm my eyes are closing. But by 2-3am am wide awake. I have tried taking klonopin at bedtime, doesn't help. Xanax when I...
- Anyone taking it? My anxiety is currently managed via a combo of klonopin and Xanax, but the situations that are contributing to my anxiety are not subsiding. Instead of continuing to increase my Klonopin to 2mg at night, my psychiatrist suggested...
- Of course, Jimmy's first day on his new job and a multitude of complaints to his father. Ted calls me to ask for advice, and then tells me "we" have a problem because if Jimmy wants to make real money he will.... Blah blah blah... when will Ted let...
- As most of you know, we took Jimmy's car (and all Financial support) away when he came back from Florida and did not finish rehab. The car has since been sold, and in order to get around, he has been using his girlfriend's car. We refused to give...
- Every time I think about Jimmy, all the opportunities, all the chances, rehabs, all the saving, enabling, and yes the "circus act" my husband and I went through for him. I have read the books, see not one but TWO therapists and yet every single time...
- Hi all someone hacked into my old email account, so I created a new one. Today was not a great day.... we had a sneaking suspicion Jimmy was "up to something", so we brought home a drug test. Ever since a few weeks ago, he had been changing, losing...
