[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 679719, member: 15032"] Colleen I feel for you. I am there with my son also. We paid dealers before but only very small amounts of money. I have aged so much in the past few years. My son last used Vicodin on a binge that lasted a month. He thinks since it's prescribed by a doctor it's not a big deal but it was not prescribed to him!! The odd thing is that he does that about twice a year and the rest of the time he's pretty normal except for anxiety and depression so HIS normal not my other son's normal, so my husband and I don't even know what to call it. When he's in it, it's truly addiction. I really do know how you feel. You can't get ANY relief. I am in and out of that feeling myself. I do know that me making myself sick with worry doesn't change anything with him. We just make him feel bigger consequences like taking away things - no car. Turn phone off etc. But since he's 20 now things will get more severe. I'm letting his dad/my husband handle him more since I am too emotional. I just want him to be normal but it isn't that simple. Our friends son just got a full scholarship to Xaviar University and wants to be a fireman. My son = nothing. Takes 2 classes at community college but I'm trying to be happy for that because years ago that was not even an option. I'm really trying to give it to God and leave it there. No one should ever have to go through this. These ladies are wonderful on this site and it does help to know you're not alone. We all have a different story and we all do our best. [/QUOTE]
