[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 712744, member: 19887"] He finally came home yesterday and told me more. I guess he is using Valium.... and he knows he needs detox to come off it. I had no idea.... he says he used it to sleep. I feel like I'm a fool for not seeing there was always more to the story. He went back out last night... saying until he gets into detox he can't just stop taking them. He has been drinking daily also he says. My husband had to leave on a business trip and I feel so scared facing this all alone this week. My principal told me to take as many days as I had to... but I have so many kids in crisis at school too that I feel badly. I know my priority is my son.... and I know it's ok, but I do feel guilty. I'm going to call detox in the am ... I have been told they are full, so I will also call my family doctor and see what they can do. He is saying he won't do a private program. He seems to think he can do a detox and then just get on with his life.... I know it doesn't work that way. He says he has been doing some kind of drugs for almost five years.... it is going to take a long time to learn how to be drug free... and he is doing he whole " I won't give up alcohol and weed" thing.... ugh!!!!!! I am so exhausted and I know this journey is just beginning ..... [/QUOTE]
