[QUOTE="JMom, post: 758289, member: 19892"] Lms1, I am so sorry to hear of your loss, I can not begin to imagine your pain. To speak to your question in your post: I tried to understand the addiction as well. The closest I came to it was when my son described it as a little person inside him that begged to be fed. He said to imagine someone telling you that you could never eat food again. The thought seems foreign because food sustains you, keeps you from being sick and you immediately start telling yourself, maybe you could eat just once and the thoughts consume you until you eat. Your body feels starved. That was when he was on meth and heroine. I can only imagine that the drug had such a hold on your son that it caused a tragic accident. I hear the sadness in your post, witnessing all the good in him, his capabilities. I am hopeful that you can hold on to the good memories of his sobriety and his worth. It sounds like he was a wonderful, brave young man. I know he has passed, but I would like to say thank you to him for his bravery-serving in our military. It takes a very special, brave and empathetic person to sacrifice himself for his country. He fought for all of our freedoms and I am especially proud of him and grateful. I am sorry that this terrible drug has taken him from you. I pray with you and your husband for peace and healing. Hugs, JMOM [/QUOTE]
