He begs me for help
 
He begs me for help today. He told me he felt horrible and told me to kill him. Felt sorry to hurt people he loves.

I replied. "Lies and manipulated words"

He then begged me to help him one last time.

I replied him with the AA meetings address for tonight

He said he wants to talk and asked me to pick him up

I replied if he can walk and cab to pubs and buy drugs, he can walk and cab to the meetings too.

I know it was hard but you did the right thing. After I stopped enabling my son, he continued to try pitiful methods the break my resolve, and it was very hard to say no, but in the end if he really wanted help, he knew where good help was and could find himself there if he really wanted to stop.

Hang in there, we're all walking with you here.

Hugs

Yes gabriel--Ann is right. He has to take responsibility for himself to get better.

Do not give in. It will not help him or yourself.

If he truly wants help he can get it. BE STRONG :)
