[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 757862, member: 15032"] My son started going down the wrong path at 15. As you can see by my signature, he went to many, many rehabs and sober living facilities as well as other programs. And below isn't even the half of it. Our son had a very good life and family and came from a happy home. He didn't change until we took him to Teen Challenge where he was in a strict program and learned about God's grace. He was so broken. He knew that this was his last chance if he wanted to have a relationship with us. End of story he has been home for almost 2 years, is in college and works. During this time we also relocated due to my job so he had a fresh start. It's not perfect but he is finally living a normal life. He will be 25 in August. We were lucky that he never used needles but he used everything else. Thankfully that is behind us now. Just don't give up hope. our son is still young and it can all turn on a dime. This is HIS journey. Just don't enable him, that is the worst thing we can do as parents and is our go to. I hope that something clicks for him and he realizes this is no way to live. I sought a professional counselor that specialized in addiction to help me through this. While he was away working on himself, I worked on myself too. Good luck and stay with us. There is so much knowledge and support here! [/QUOTE]
