[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 742716, member: 15032"] Welcome to all of you. I am so sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. This site and the people on it are truly amazing. Why reinvent the wheel? We are all struggling here. We can learn from one another. When my son went off the rails after I spinned mindlessly for years not knowing what was really going on I finally found a therapist that specialized in addiction. She helped me form firm boundaries with our son. He needed them as much as I did. Maybe more. This site was also a great source of knowledge and strength for me. My son will come back to live with us next weekend after being in a long term faith based program. He has been sober for 14 months. His drug of choice was mainly benzos but he'd use marijuana and alcohol too and some pain pills. We have moved out of state due to my job transfer so he really has a brand new start. I feel that this was divine intervention for many reasons. I finally had to put it in GOD'S hands. Both my son and myself. I knew that this was WAY TOO BIG for me and that I could not control it. Not even close. The way I look at it there is good in this world and there is evil. It's that simple. Addiction is evil. It tears families apart and destroys lives. We tried everything with our son but God was his answer. Keep posting and reading and it will help you find some light in your darkest days. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
