[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694865, member: 1550"] I found with addiction it is never in the past. A relapse is always one drink or toke or pill away. It is a lifelong disease. Your son does not seem be tsking his addiction seriously enough yet. his attitude seems veryl relaxed, like you should forget he shot heroin, and still may be...this is hard to kick and doesnt just stop. No mother of a drug addict really knows the truth abourlt what our kids take or do. After my daughter actually quit, she confessed to sll she had usedbsnd to say I was shocked is the understatement if the year. A scary fact us that we cant save the lives of our addict kids. only they can do it. I repeat, we dont even know what they do. We cant stop them.bIt is COMPLETELY out of our hands. zif you believe in any sort of higher power, give your son to him and try to go on. Worrying about our adult kids makes us ill and doesnt help them one bit. Begging them to quit doesnt work.bztelling them how they hurt us does not touch an active addicts mind. Until THEY want to quit, they wont. We can make them so miserable while using that they get sick of using...we take away money, perks, make them walk to food pantries and sleep in shelters, or if they don't like the no drug rules of shelters, they can sleep under a bridge. They dont need cars. Until they are completely miserable and alone, they rarely quit. Once we take away their resources (us and our money and rides snd food and soft hearts)...they have no real incentive to go through the horror of withdrawal and then changing their entire lives.
