Update again - He can't string together more than 3 days. He packed his stuff and left the sober house late last night. We won't be trying to track him down. He's in God's hands now.

Please join me in prayer for all those caught in the death grip of addiction. Thanks.

It's tough to watch them struggle with this disease. You and your son continue to be in my prayers.

My heart is with you TJP- Giving him to HP is the best thing you can do. I do it every day with a heavy heart but then I feel better knowing I trust in Him to keep my son safe.
Hugs,
Teresa

We texted back and forth a little bit earlier today and I said my loving "goodbye". I feel like there is an elephant sitting on my chest. Can't recall ever being in this much pain before. I wish I had the luxury of being able to cry for an hour, but I can't right now. Maybe later.

We here at SR will try to blow air into your lungs as that elephant sits on your chest - to try to keep oxygen to you until the elephant shifts.

Sending support and encouragement,

CLMI

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Saying an extra prayer that Your HP and his HP watch over him and guide him.

I know it may not feel so at the moment, but in a day or two or a week and you come back and read this thread, you will finally see that you have done every thing you could as a mom and a concerned human being for your son. Now the rest is up to his HP and him.

If you picture ALL of us in whatever room you are in at the moment, there will not be room for the elephant on your chest and said elephant will just have to leave. We are walking with you in spirit.

Love and hugs,

(((tjp613))) I feel your pain, I have you and yours in my prayers. It is so hard to get our hopes up and see them fail again.

From another heart-broken mom, I'm so very sorry. I just want it to end for all of us.
