| What is Rock Bottom?
Just wondering what is rock bottom? I know its different for everyone. What concerns me is I never hear of a younger person cleaning up there act. It seems generally they have been using 10 or 15 years. That is frightening! Another thing that is truly annoying is peoples attitudes towards drug addiction. It seems there are alot of people out there that just look at a drug addict as the lower life of society, not someones loved one. My sister actually said to me " just get rid of your son, he chose to be an addict and if he were my son I would disown him" She has no children. People are always so full of advice. I stopped talking to people about him a long time ago because they truly do not understand. I dont truly understand. Are there any kids 19 or 20 that have been addicts and are living a clean life? What I have finally come to know is that there isnt a thing that we can do to help them. All my protecting him, going to drug testing , rehab centres, spying on him etc. etc. was a waste of time. If I could turn the clock back I would have had him charged with fraud a long time ago. I cant believe what manipulators they are. Sad thing is I look at my son right now and I dont like him. Hes rude, sneakyand lazy. This is not the child I raised. I suppose as parents we all mourn the death of our dreams for our children. This year he was supposed to be starting University, dating nice girls and leading a productive life. Instead he hangs out with a bunch of addicts like himself. It is all so sad. Anyhow just venting this morning.
