[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 260775, member: 1953"] My heart breaks for you, as I know how horrible this is. It is true, unless he wants to stop, there isn't much you can do. You can try to remind him there are rehabs where he can go and get a RX for suboxone which will help him stop doing heroin without withdrawls. There are drug counselors that will write a RX for suboxone also. Star gave you great advice telling you to get to any AA, CA, or NA meetings. Unless he wants you to help him, you are better helping yourself. You will learn tools how to handle him, and the life he has chosen. As you see in my signature we did lose our son nearly 3 years ago at the the age of 17, (to heroin). I don't mean to scare you, but I represent the worse case scenario of this nasty, life destroying, highly addicting, personality changing drug. There are moms here who have been successful in getting their kids into treatment, but that is after the kids bounce around at bottom for awhile and finally decide to make the change themselves, then there are some setbacks, and some relapses for some, but they did end up kicking it. Alex did come to me and wanted help getting off. This was the 1st time I knew for certain he had crossed that line. He was clean for three weeks (with the help of suboxone) was taken off the suboxone after only 2 weeks.( Alex refused further treatment, thought he had it licked) He relapsed after being clean for 3 weeks and that is when we lost him. I wish I could offer more to help, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Love, Lia [/QUOTE]
