[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 7064, member: 3305"] Thank you for all of your kind thoughts and prayers on behalf of my son. It is amazing what they are willing to sacrifice for their drug of choice. One thing I have learned about this particular drug is that they lose all sense of fear, sort of a superhuman mentality while on it then serious paranoia while coming off of it. Last visit, the first to the prison rehab...I mentioned that I had met a man who had a cocaine addiction and whata "sales guy" attitude he possessed. Like cocky and once proud that he could swindle so many people so easily. My difficult child actually said "Ya, that's why I wasn't into cocaine, they're all so arrogant". I thought to myself, YOU aren't arrogant??? Roll Eyes, shake head. Sadly, I have heard him in fits of defiance (in jail) exclaiming a joyless life without this drug. As though there is no better reason to simply Live, no (fill in the blank) better no nothing better than being on it. That was the last panic attack I had. Fear can paralyze me. At the meetings I was reminded to "Check your motives". They suggested not to see him again if it had Anything to do with what I thought I could do for him or could receive in return for my visits, go with no expectations, go Only as a "gift" or don't go at all. That has helped me place my heart and my attitude into higher hands. If I continue to fall apart and behave according to what his addictions tell Him, then I am letting his addictions have power and control over me. I hope all of our children who struggle with addictions will wake up and reclaim their lives. I see so many young people at AA meetings. They are the mirror image of my sons. Usually intelligent, handsome, beautiful, charming or endearing...FULL of so much obvious Potential. So hard to resist for our mommy hearts. thanks again. lovemysons [/QUOTE]
