[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 730626, member: 18958"] Welcome Patty. People kick heroin all the time. But they do it, not their mothers. This is a function of this site, to let go of our sense of responsibility and agency to act in a sphere which is not ours. It is hard to let go. I know. I think he needs a year long residential program like teen challenge (adult) or victory outreach. They are free. Every single kid on this site i can think of who has participated has prospered. I would stop with the gas money, etc. We corrupt and infantiilze our adult children this way. I do this. He can get that money. As long as he is courteous and cooperative while at home, for a limited time, food and room is quite a lot. Heroin addicts can be some of the best people. Kind and sweet and bright. If I used drugs I would use a drug like that. My point here: this is as likely to go on forever as not. That is what an addiction is. We have to find a way to live where we are not hooked too. That is why there is this site. Finally. It is called the "human condition," because we are flawed, failed, hurting, limited, self deceiving. We are tested. Conflicted. We grow. We are mortal. That our children have diagnoses and suffer, just makes them human. This is their learning to do. That is the other purpose of this site: to come to grips with that. We grow too. Keep posting. It helps. [/QUOTE]
