Hello

I am making my first post.
I have a 21 year old son with a drug problem. I have been reading the blogs and want to let everyone know how helpful they have been.
It is comforting to know that the choices we have made have been made by all of you, and that there is hope for some happiness in the future (although I am not there yet)
Keep well....

You may find our 'friends and family' forum interesting. Lots of insight from people who have been in your position.

My son is an addict also, so I know how your heart hurts.

There are a lot of mamas on the Friends and Family of Substance Abusers forum who would love to meet you too, maybe stop down and introduce yourself there, we kiddingly call ourselves the Posse of Mamas and have been of great comfort to each other.

Welcome to SR, I'm glad you joined us.

Hugs
