[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 616953, member: 3305"] Sending more hugs and prayers for you and your son Diana. My young difficult child is also a pain pill addict...loves his alcohol too. My husband and I finally had to ask our son to leave our home. Our son had spent a yr in prison and was released last Decemeber 2012. I had so hoped giving him "everything" would be the answer. A fresh start with a job handed to him, a truck, a phone, his family over whenever he pleased, etc. but it was not enough. He decided to start drinking again and then came the pain pills again. I so hope your son will change his mind and decide to put himself in rehab. At least there they can learn some tools to help them cope and meanwhile stay safe. I know the pain, the fears, and helpless feelings that come from trying to "save" an addict that doesn't seem to want to be saved. Sometimes all you can do is let them hit bottom and then when they are truly serious get help immediately. This heroin thing scares me so much and I hope your son will reach out for help soon. I also hope that you might find an Al Anon meeting near where you live to get additional support. Take care of yourself. Hugs, LMS [/QUOTE]
