[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 721684, member: 20054"] LBL-I'm sorry for you hurting heart. The facts you know from his phone are what will keep you honest to yourself. No more, "maybe he's not using, maybe he's waking up". I kept a picture on my phone of pill bottle, straw, baggie and credit card that we found my son's room. IN OUR HOME. He had been home 8 weeks, 1st 2 weeks fine, then coming home late or not at all, never calling, finally gone for 2 weeks no contact when I packed up his room. It actually gave me strength to be reminded I was doing the right thing. To allow him to sleep until noon, eat well, shower and be in a warm home just gave him "comfortable drugging". For some, that picture might have been a sad reminder that my son was an addict, for me it was evidence that I couldn't control this, it was truly out of my hands. COPA's right, now you have power. I also believe it would be best to stay clear of him, there's no more discussion to be had, is there? I so get that you wish it would be tomorrow-you asked "who wishes that?" We do. You have gone over and above in every respect, you can't cure this, but there is hope for him if he will grab it himself. He's not choosing that yet. We circle our wagons for you in safety and understanding. We get it. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
