Hi everyone and thank you for taking a moment to read my post. I am coming to terms with the fact that my son is an addict and it's heartbreaking.
A little background...
My son started using marijuana In high school and now uses marijuana and Xanax. I'm not really sure of everything but I know he has also tested positive for cocaine and has totaled his car with many empty bottles of z-quill. I'm just not sure of everything but he has been arrested 7 times in a little over a year for drug possession, DWI, and public intoxication.
He has tried outpatient rehab and went on a binge the night after his first session, landing in jail. Last week he was planning on entering a sober living program with a minimum 90 day commitment. The night before he got high. I was still able to take him to sober living but he got kicked out the first night after buying a bottle of z-quill, acting a fool(he was still coming off marijuana and Xanax), and ruining everything.
He is currently living in a temp housing place in hopes of getting back into the program after a seven day waiting period. I told him if he didn't do the things for twenty, he will be living on the streets.
I am just at a lost right now because he ruins every chance he gets to get back on track. I keep trying to help and encourage him but nothing works. He is going to be sleeping on the streets soon, if he doesn't get back into the program, and I don't know how to handle that. How to I goto sleep each night, knowing he is homeless? I know I need to stop saving him but it is killing me to even think of him hitting rock bottom.
I just don't know what to do!
