[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 695417, member: 20267"] What an unfortunately familiar post. You are in the right place. I am a drug addict. I abused opiates for years, and became a very good junkie. I could lie and manipulate my way out of any situation. I stole from the only two adults that have EVER cared about me, or shown compassion. My aunt and uncle. People I have not a single bad word to say about. I respect my aunt more than anybody else on the planet, and my uncle is my best friend. They have given EVERYTHING, and got only heartache, fear, desperation, and trust issues to show for it. The real :censored2:ed up part about this is that I KNEW what I was doing was wrong, and I knew it hurt them. I didn't know to what extend it hurt them, but that isn't relevant. What matters is that I DID hurt them. Why would I ever do such horrible things to these people? I practically worship the ground they walk on. I am not a stupid person. Not a cruel one, either. THAT is the effect of drug abuse. It turns perfectly decent, intelligent people into sociopathic monsters who repeatedly hurt the ones we love, and who love us. Addiction is not just bad for the addict. It takes everybody near by as collateral. I cannot tell you if your son is a drug addict, or not. People have differing opinions of what does and does not make a person an addict. I can say that your son is teetering very near the edge of a very tall cliff, and is demonstrating that he is losing his ability to control his use. He displays all the typical warning signs. The biggest red flag for me is the DXM. It's one thing to buy something off the street that is meant to get you high. Wanting to get high bad enough to reappropriate something else is entirely different. Same goes with inhaling whippets or chemicals. You shouldn't be uncomfortable in your own home. It isn't fair.
