Thankyou Pernell,
(a) a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxication or desired effect.
Is the statement above the reason that alcoholics turn to drugs?
Also the one huge problem that I have is the fear of my son's death either from suicide or overdose. It is just too hard to sit back and let my son hit bottom if there is a risk that the bottom might be death. I will let him go to the breaking point, but when I see that he is near suicide or death I jump in.
Will I have to accept his death before he dies in order to take such a horrible risk?
I think this is really hard for a lot of us here.
Hugs,
MG
