[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 715585, member: 21895"] Oh mof what does it take for them to face reality. A friend of mine has a brother who was on the streets for a number of years addicted to heroin and crack. Actually 2 brothers. One died on the street and that still didn't straighten P out. He eventually walked into a rehab/mental health hospital and got clean that was 25 years ago. I asked him what made you go to rehab and stop, when even losing your brother to a drug overdose didn't do it. He said he can't explain it but that he looked in a mirror while he was preparing to shoot up and he had an epiphany and just could not stop putting the needle in when he wanted to stop. That was the beginning of he end for him. He had a great job and private rehab insurance and no rehab prevented him from falling further into his addiction because he didn't want to stop. I asked P if DCs symptoms could be from quitting poppers (he is a rehab Councilor), and he said withdrawal from these damn poppers is as bad as coming off heroine and it is more the nocotene and chemicals from the tobacco that cause it. I am not saying that I don't believe for one minute that my son was doing whatever he could get his hands on as well. Sadly Ps daughter is now a heroin addict he attempted every which way to help her and as he knows if the addict doesn't want to change they won't. He put her out last year and she is now on the mean street of Vancouver. I am truly at my limit with Difficult Child. If he is turning a corner blessing to the universe but if not it's time for tough love out out out! [/QUOTE]
