[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 696690, member: 19069"] I worry constantly so I understand how everyone feels. My only advice today is to try not to worry so much and be thankful your sons are in treatment. When my son was in rehab I worried the entire time, I think we do this because we are so afraid that they won't succeed and we want it so bad for them. I wish I would have used the time he was there to relax and have a little break from all the worry so that's my advice to you Copa, Mof, and RN. Try to trust that they are in good hands and safe. I didn't talk to my son at all while he was in rehab other than a few phone counseling sessions. He had his phone the entire time. His counselor told us both to not have any contact with each other because it was me he was so angry with for sending him to rehab. It was also me he blamed for his drug use , he said it was because I was accusing him of using drugs all the time so he finally just started using. Anyway my point is that limited contact can be part of treatment. My sons counselor said she was trying to get my son to take responsibility for his drug use and stop blaming me. So I know how bad u want to hear from them but try to not worry yourself sick, they're safe right now. It's been said on this site that around 25 years old they start to mature and things change, I sure pray that's true!! If so I just have a little over a year and I'll be able to confirm that theory.
