HELLO
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR RESOURCES TO HELP MY SON.HE IS ALMOST 40. HAS BEEN THRU THE STATE REHAB PROGRAMS IN& OUT OF JAIL. DOES OK FOR 2 WKS THEN BACK ON THE DRUGS HE GOES.
MY HUSBAND & I HAVE NO FUNDS FOR HELP,WE ARE DISABLED & ON S/S. OUR SON DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE. THIS IS KILLING US. HE NEEDS A MENTOR TO HELP HIM NOW!!!
WE ARE SO DESPERATE.HE IS DOWN TO 160 LBS. HE CRIES TO US BUT CAN’T SEEM TO GET HIMSELF TO QUIT. PLEASE HELP HIM, PLEASE HELP FIND HELP FOR HIM NOW. WE DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE HIM TO THE STREETS. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL THEM TO ME. I DO NOT THINK AN OUTSIDE PROGRAM WILL HELP, I DON’T KNOW?!!
HE IS KEEPING BUSY THIS WEEK PAINTING FOR A FRIEND. HE IS SUCH A GREAT LIKABLE GUY WHEN HE IS NOT USING. AFTER HE IS DONE PAINTING THOUGH I KNOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME, BACK OUT HE WILL GO. HE DOES NOT LIVE WITH US HE LIVES WITH HIS X-WIFE AND HIS SON. HE IS TEARING THEM APART TOO.
I WILL WELCOME ANY AND ALL INPUT YOU HAVE FOR ME.
RESPECTFULLY CHRISTY, WE LIVE IN OREGON.

Tough Situation
It’s difficult to watch your son self-destruct, especially since he’s been through programs before. However, there are some steps you and he can take, outside of paying for treatment. Does he go to AA or NA meetings? Their programs really work, if you allow them to work. It sounds like he goes to jail or goes to treatment, but nothing really changes. He needs to look at himself and rebuild his life. A 12 Step program is designed to deal will all of the issues that are driving his insanity. You and your husband would benefit from Al-Anon, a support organization comprised of people just like you who want to help their family members who struggle with addiction. His ex-wife would also benefit from this group. As long as he chooses to go down this path, there is only misery, but if he is willing to look at himself and do a little soul searching, there is great hope. |
