Update on as
My oldest daughter received a my space email from my son's friend, who he is living with right now (for the last 3 months since we threw him out). Says he's doing great, feeling better and working hard. After saying all that, he proceeds to say that he's a little worried cause my as told him that he knows one of his co-workers sells opiates.
He told my as if he catches him doing any of those drugs again he'll kick his you know what and the guy that sold them to him.
It's funny, it was nice of this boy and his father to take him in, but now they're the ones that are starting to question and worry like I did all of those years. I know that my as is not going to meetings and is trying to get clean on his own, and I still will always wonder if he can stay clean when there is money in his pocket. I also question, how it is that they find these people that sell the drugs. Does it just come up in conversation? The fact that he knows someone he works with that sells, has me worried. The only contact I've really had with my as is either through my daughter's my space or through his friend. He hasn't called in weeks. Maybe he has something to hide? Who knows?

Louise, My daughter has told me that there are more drugs in our town than even she could have imagined. And I do believe that addicts know how to network. It always amazes me who knows who because of drugs. I know that you miss your son, but it really is easier not to have to deal with the drama. If his friends want to take him in and trust him that is their problem. You just keep taking care of yourself. Your son has to find his own way to recovery and addicts need to try different methods to get clean. You never know, maybe he can get clean without meetings. Maybe he will just get sick of his addiction. The important part is that he keeps trying and that you stand back and let him do whatever it takes. You are not enabling and that is a very good thing. Hugs, Marle
