[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681856, member: 18958"] If I could reach through this screen to hold you in my arms, I would. The heroin epidemic is so much on people's minds that it became a topic in the Town Hall debate tonight. Anthony Bourdain on CNN covered the epidemic in Western Massachusetts. We are now in national crisis. You are not alone. Your son is not alone. I do not have experience of a child using heroin but I do have experience of incredible fear and despair because I could not control whether my son lived or died. He has a chronic disease for which he does not take available treatment. I tried and tried to control his getting treatment. I failed. I survived. There are many threads on CD about children using heroin. I am scanning the titles to the right as I type. Read them. Post night and day. Go to therapy. To Al Anon. Decide to survive so that you can help your child when he is amenable. There is no other way through despair other than one day at a time. For me, for you, for him, for anybody. Love does not count in this. I wish it did. For all of us. Keep posting. I am glad you are here. I am so sorry for the shock and despair of this. COPA [/QUOTE]
