deep in my heart I know that all will be well with you and your son.
Your openness with him and he with you is such a big deal i hope you know that. he showed you his arms, that to me is a big deal as well, do you believe him, well it doesn't matter if you do or not. he seems to be able to tell you anything and thats is such a big deal and I really think all will turn out well.
I'm sorry you feel so sad. You and your son are always in my prayers.

HD,
I wanted to add something that I've been thinking about since reading your post.
I can only imagine how difficult it was to step into what is now your son's life.
But the one thing I've noticed about myself is that each time I was brought to my knees by the cruel reality of the life my son had chose...it brought me one step closer to acceptance, and that is what I HAD to do to move forward at all.
I remember a while back I was packing a bag for my son to enter rehab. At that time I was "hoping" he would make the call and agree to go, and at that moment he was on a terrible run. I packed a small gym bag and realized it was EVERYTHING he owned at that point...everything from 19 years of life (and a decent one at that) was packed in a tiny overnight bag with room leftover.
I cried like a baby.
I'm not sure anythig hit me as hard as that thought, that night..."this is what it has become."
I had to go there...and work through it.
More prayers...for comfort and clarity
((((Hugs))))

History,
As my grandparents used to say in Yiddish:
" Fun dein moil tsu Gott's oyeren!" ("From your mouth to God's ear!") "
Trust me - I had to look this one up on the Internet.
To all: Thanks you so much for all your care. Here's to us all having a weekend of taking care of ourselves.
Prayers to all and our addicts.
