[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 706996, member: 16643"] So sorry you're going through this. I'll never ever forget the times we kicked our son out. Totally broke my heart. You see, your son sounds like mine at that age. He didn't want to give up the weed smoking. But smoking weed leads to other drugs as you've already found out. Some drugs can be quite deadly. My son was addicted to heroin. I watched him turn into a skin and bone man who ended up stealing for his high. Long story short, he's been clean for 525 days and currently training to be a Marine, he's changed completely. There's hope. It took us several years but there's hope. What scares me is if they choose deadly drugs they can overdose & die and then there's no more hope. So I'm writing you to ask you if there's anything he's interested in? Some type of hobby or purpose to his life? If so, my suggestion is to help him focus on that purpose. Get him excited about his future. I truly believe this is what everyone needs, goals. If he doesn't have one, try to find one for him and encourage him to go for it. If he's striving for a healthy goal, he won't want to lay around high with no purpose. Hope this helps!
