Sorry it took me so long to get back here.
I wanted to drug and drink and not have those nasty consequences.
I was foolish enough to believe I was smart and resourceful enough to one day find a way to do that.
I don't believe there was anything
anyone could have said to break through that kind of fantasy thinking, pavchaw.
I know, deep down, you want to fix this, to protect your son from further trouble.
Thats a natural thing for a parent or loved one to feel, but I really think you need to accept it's not your job...not with this.
The only thing that bought be back to reality was finally accepting my way wasn't going to work. The only way I did that was to make some mistakes.
I hope your son will find that out sooner than I did
