[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 646617, member: 18238"] As painful as this is, you did the right thing. If you consider NOTHING else, consider this; where is that spoon now? Do you really think an addict will be conscientious enough to wash the spoon or at least put it in the dishwasher? How much sleep do you think he would loose if you were to use that spoon, still with heroin on it, to eat a bowl of cereal and then you drove to work and were charged with a DUI? Not all of the dangers that difficult child's pose to us are emotional, monetary, or even physical. Not trying to sound cold blooded here, just reminding you of the harsh reality that an addicts main thought process revolves around their next fix. Nothing else matters. Protect yourself and your family while giving him that chance to hit rock bottom and hopefully actually WANT to kick his habit. [/QUOTE]
