[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 685731, member: 16643"] Hi Worried Sick, I have a son who too is addicted to heroin. He has been clean and living in a men's home now for over 7 months. This has been his choice. He could leave any time he wants. The point I'm trying to make to you is that, when one chooses to stay in rehab because they know it's what they need, then one is truly healing. Your son is just doing his time and waiting for you to rescue him. Trust me, we did the same at first, big mistake on us. The next time we learned and told him, he has to figure it out himself. There is no coming back to old friends, mom and dad, etc. I know it sounds harsh and I love my son beyond words but it's all part of his growth. He needs to be sober much longer than 30 days and he has to make a plan for his life. This should not include going back to his girlfriend who uses drugs still. I would write him a letter and tell him you love him and support his sobriety. However, you should encourage him to stay and heal longer and make a plan for his new sober life. He needs to change from within and be ok. My son doesn't love where he's at, but he does know that it's helping him. My son loves us and thanks us for all we've done. When they heal from within, they see things so different, your son will too. [/QUOTE]
