[QUOTE="vligrl, post: 518322, member: 14003"] I understand what you are all forewarning me about and I will take what I believe applies to our situation. We have not gone through the horrors that many of you have and I pray to god we never do as the pain I feel when I read your stories is just heart breaking. We have a therapist lined up for him in a few weeks and he started Wellbutrin yesterday. He's been doing his homework for a change and going to community service after school today. I truly do not think my son is an addict. He has no money to buy anything, he has no car to deal, he does not steal and never has from us or anyone else. My husband leaves his wallet on the table in the kitchen and nothing has ever been taken or from me. I remember kids smoked pot when I was in Jr. High and High School. Am I happy about it, no, but one thing I can say is pot or no pot, my son has not changed his habits or behavior as far as laziness and his lack of motivation towards school since he was a little kid so I cannot blame smoking for this. This is the reason we had him tested for ADD in eighth grade. It truly is one day at a time here. Yesterday while he was out he called twice to let me know where he was, who he was with and what he was doing and when I could expect him home which was much earlier than usual. This is what I mean by one day at a time. R Really looking forward to him going to Israel in June. No pot, lot's of physical activity and hopefully some kind of religious connection that might make him feel more whole. The groups are protected by the Israeli Army also. Again, thank you for your concern and for listening when I lose it. I feel for all of you and the pain you are going through. [/QUOTE]
