[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 743724, member: 15801"] Copa..... I love the fact that at least with my son you stay optimistic and see the positive side even when I can’t. I talked with my parent mentor with the program this morning which was helpful. She is another parent in the program whose son has been in the program a long time.....Anyway she was helpful. I dont know what will happen but she did remind me that while he is alive there is hope.... and also some reminders about addiction. And sometimes with addiction they really have to get to the point where they realize that they really cant do it on their own.... and I think my son has realized that he is truly addicted to heroin and to alcohol but he he still thinks he can smoke pot. So maybe he has to go down the road with pot too....I am pretty sure if he goes down that road it will lead him to a pretty bad place but.... he if he gets to that bad place this program does stay engaged with him, so if he stays alive they will be there to help him.... so there is my hope. And it does take the pressure off of us. I am very thankful that this program is there and extremely thankful that we have the resources to keep paying for it..... so so thankful for that. So in many ways I am luckier than many. Thinking of you and all that you are going through with your son. TL [/QUOTE]
