[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 580735, member: 15801"] Wakegirl, I have so been where you are. You are doing great by the way. It is hard when as moms we just want to take care of them and make them feel better.... but in this case we can't make them stop using drugs and we cant make them do the right thing... it is a matter of holding firm and waiting until they can't take it anymore and agree to get themselves help. The stronger you are, the firmer you hold, the sooner he will realize he needs help. I too wondered if he really had the flu or if this was withdrawal, it may be some of both. My son had the flu when he was homeless and when he finally got himself to rehab. It was awful knowing he was so sick and on the street.... but now he is in the sober house, is healthy, doing much much better and just sent me a message saying he was looking forward to seeing me!!! Things can and do change, especially if they are sober. So yes get him some groceries... but dont go overboard... and yes take him to the doctor.... if he is withdrawing they may see that and comment on it???? TL [/QUOTE]
