[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 648058, member: 1233"] Don't let him fool you. Even using small amounts regularly will leave you in withdrawals if you stop. That is just a fact. His story about only using a small amount and not having withdrawals is just another lie. While I hope the counseling helps, it will likely take more than weekly counseling to stop his addiction. MWM is right, he is not safe around the grands, esp if there isn't a sane and sober adult with him. Please do not trust him to babysit ever. I have known more than a few heroin addicts and have yet to meet one who just used 'a little'. From what I have heard, they all say that in order to get loved ones off their backs, but they use what they can get their hands on, period. If they don't use, they get very sick and it is not a sickness you can hide. Not. At. All. I really hope and pray he can get clean and stay clean. If nothing else, maybe a methadone or suboxone program would help him have a normal life. it is good his employer is being supportive. [/QUOTE]
