[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 631219, member: 15801"] And many of our stories have not ended yet.... I am one whose son has been on the streets, lived in tough situations, been in jail and it still hasnt been enough to totally turn things around. So for some it takes a while to get there..... but just because he isnt totally there yet doesnt mean he wont get there. I think he is closer at the moment than he has been in a while. It really is a process. I have met some people in my life.... and several through my job.... who have been serious addicts and have turned things around. One family friend was a heroin addict for 27 years before he got clean.... but he got clean and gave support and help back to many addicts including my son. So it can and does happen and I always try to keep that in mind. I think one thing that is important is to let go of the outcome of any one situation. I know I can no longer base my happiness on hoping my son will turn things around.... because my hope keeps getting dashed. I need to try and stay positive and believe in him, but I cant base my happiness on the outcome. It will be whatever it is. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
