Hi and welcome to sr. I'm Linda and my 25 yo son is the addict in my life.
Everyone is glad you found your way here, too.
Hope you can start a recovery of your own very soon.
Recovery from codependency.
Your son, I pray, will do just fine, as long as he's determined to work the program.
My son has never really been in a rehab. He's used many drugs in the past.
Has been using since he was very young.
He's done 2 stints in detox. Was in a methadone program a while.
Had a few sessions with a drug counselor. All were short lived and not taken seriously by him, because he's just not ready.
Know what helped him? 6 months in a county prison.
He kicked heroin while being locked up.
Today, he still has the mind of an addict. A very young-minded one, at that.
He drinks and smokes pot. Lately, not as much. So, he does have good days and bad days. The thing is, until he chooses abstinence from every drug...
He's still an addict.
Sending prayers up for you and your son.
He's in a good place. Now, it's time to take care of you.
Your new sr buddy,
