DanielsDad...

Welcome to the Board (and thanks to CeCe for moving this post to its own thread). Yes, we have members that have gone through what you're currently going through right now, which is a particularly cruel version of hell. Fortunately, we have a lot of collective wisdom here at your disposal, and my hope is over the days and weeks to come, you take full advantage of that.

Other members will be by to greet you in due course, so stick around...

Hello and welcome to SR! This is a place of great support. There are many on this forum with addicted children, and also some dual diagnosis issues also.

I am glad you are here. Post away, you are not alone!

Welcome Daniel's Dad. I am a mom of a 25 year old addict who is in recovery now. He has been in and out of rehabs for the last 2 years, but I see some good progress recently. Only time will tell. This is a great forum for support and for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Please reach out and read all the stickies.
Take care!

Hi Daniel's dad.

Hi DanielsDad. Funny thing: I just had to deal with an addict named Daniel. I'm sorry to hear about your son. I had to just walk away from my addict, for my own well-being and safety. But I did tell his dad he was relapsed in hope that he can help him.
