[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652434, member: 1550"] I like to read books about mental health issues and addiction and I've recently read a book about heroin addiction...memoirs from Mom. She had two adult kids who became addicted to heroin. For her daughter, who asked for her help, she found a drug that makes it unpleasant to use heroin. I forgot the name, but I'm sure it's online. The daughter took it and after a few relapses, she has been clean forever and has weaned off all drugs. The son had a terrible journey and I did not think he was going to quit, but in the very end he did and now has a clean wife and I believe a kid or two. His ride was very rocky and he bounced around rehabs a lot and his family lost track of him a few times, but he did it. So it isn't hopeless and there is help. The main thing is that the person wants to quit so badly that he/she can reject the urge for the drug and ask for help when it's needed. The daughter did stop her anti-heroin drug once and relapsed badly, but picked herself up, took the anti-heroin medication and moved on and has done very well. I wish I still had the book or remembered it's name. I don't. But that was the gist of it. There is hope. The hard work has to come from your son. This mom did all she could for her kids and it still took her son disappearing then quitting on his own (only they control them) to stop. But the bottom line is he did stop and it can be done. Big hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
