- Happy Easter to all. For whatever reason, I am feeling sad and mad at my son. He left me/us on January 4th. His addiction took over his life and his soul. I am having a really rough day. I miss him so much. You are all a great source of ...
- My 28 year old son is an opiate addict. I found this group a little over a year ago and you have all been a tremendous source of support for me. We have been trying to get him into a long term rehab program, but that's tough when you don't have...
- I haven't posted for quite awhile. I get on and read and always appreciate everyone's words of wisdom and support. I have made a total mess of my situation! My son (28) is an opiate addict. Went through 30 rehab in the spring. Did well for...
- My son overdosed last night. I had to call 911 because I could not revive him. My husband (his step father) told me that he was hearing "weird noises" from my sons bedroom. We had just spoke to my son and he and I had eaten and done the crossword...
- My 27 year old son (opiate addict) was discharged from rehab on April 13. He was doing ok, but has absolutely not moved forward with his life. He has gone through paperwork to tabulate the financial hell hole he created for himself, but other than...
- My 27 year old son (opiate addict) got out of a 30 day rehab on April 13. He wanted to go spend a week with grandparents and other family for a week, which I agreed to (my husband disagreed) and according to my parents went well. He has been back...
- I picked my 27 year old son up from 30 days in rehab this morning. It is so wonderful to see his bright eyes and hear him really listening and engaging. I am hoping for the best, but ready for the worst as the mother of an opiate addict. He is...
- My 27 year old son is leaving rehab next Monday, April 13. He wants to go stay with my parents (100 miles away), help them in their business and make "amends" to them and my brother and family. My mother agrees and is willing to have him there for...
- I dropped my 27 year old son off at rehab (voluntarily) 2 weeks ago tomorrow. So far no call to come pick him up thankfully. He has called a few times and we have chatted for just a few minutes. He sounds good/alive/a real living person! One of...
- After a more than 2 week wait and a paperwork struggle, I finally dropped my son off (willingly) at rehab this morning. We got there a little early and sat in the car and chatted and it was a very "sweet/sad" conversation. They sent me on my way...
- My son has been in detox 2 days. He called me last night and said that he would probably be ok to come home today. I encouraged him to stay one more day, but I have no idea if leaving today is his idea or if the detox facility also agrees. (I am...
- My son agreed to get a "drug and alcohol" evaluation which is required to start most programs here. I was pleasantly surprised that he truly made himself available at 5am and we sat outside in freezing weather from 7am to 7:30am because it is first...
- My son's "self detox" lasted about 18 hours. I was truly not surprised. He was gone for 2 days and then returned home and has been in his bed for 2-3 days feeling miserable. He looks absolutely horrible. My guess is that the last time he...
- My son has decided to "detox" himself starting tonight from whatever opiate he has been taking (not heroin). He states it will be 3-5 days of feeling like poop! I don't want to make it easy on him, but is there anything I should watch for/be aware...
- My 27 year old son and I went to his Nana's funeral this past week. It was a plane trip, motel, etc and we spent most of 4 days together. His behavior was upsetting to his cousins and my family. They all know that something is horribly wrong and...
