[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 702748, member: 18958"] 4now, I am sorry. Of course you are afraid. He well could have been. How many times have we read here on this site how relapse is a part of recovery? There seems to be no other way for most people. I was not posting when you began as a member so I do not know your back story beyond your signature, but I want to tell you a hopeful story. Anthony Bourdain, the famous chef and TV star was a heroin addict for most of his adult life, maybe 25 years or so. From what I know he led a degraded and desperate life without limits and grounding. Although he did work as a chef, a career that seemed to reinforce his dissolute lifestyle rather than help him. (Forgive me, Tony if I am exaggerating for the sake of my narrative.) He talks some about his heroin addiction on his CNN show. In fact there was an episode that took place in Western Massachusetts where he went to a NA meeting, and spoke. I am unaware that he has a mental illness like do our own sons, but he well could. This is a process. I believe our sons will survive and they will find their way. As far as myself? I am less sure. Take care. [/QUOTE]
