[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 147616, member: 1953"] Oh jessie, I know first hand what you are going through. I don't have any suggestions. If he agrees to rehab, do what you can to keep him there, sadly it will come down to his choice. I will keep my fingers crossed that he will choose to quit. I sat with Alex for over 24 hours of heroin withdrawls, like you I rubbed back his legs, whatever he needed. It only got worse, so I took him to the ER and they sent him to a drug treatment program which got him started on suboxone. If they haven't given your son suboxone, or subutex to help with the cravings, then he needs to be on either one. It works like a charm. Go to narcanon meetings so you can get help in dealing with this blow. Alex was doing heroin many times a day, for how long I'm not sure, he admitted to 4-6 months, but I believe it was longer. He was impossible and we didn't know what was going on with him till I overheard a conservation he had with a friend on the phone, that is when I found out about the heroin. He was using many times a day everyday. He also was stealing from us, that kinda goes with the territory. Our story does not have a happy ending. Alex chose to quit and asked for help that day he was withdrawing. He was clean for three weeks before he relapsed and used again. That time he died, we believe his heroin was mixed with fentanyl. My heart feels for you. Other than losing your child, nothing can be harder than realizing that your child is addicted to heroin or any other hard drug. I would be more than happy to help you any way I can, send me a private message if you would like, I will message you back, just make sure you have enabled private messaging in your control panel. I remember the day I found out Alex had been using heroin. I cried my eyes out all the way to the store to get a drug test. My eye were bloodshot and I looked like a zombie as I found the drug test.
