[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 712838, member: 15032"] Colleen I have been off the computer since Friday and just caught up today. So glad to hear of this breakthrough! I have to say I knew something was up with him because it sounded like my son's behaviors. I hate the "weed and drinking are okay" thing and I've heard it before too but don't worry about that right now. My son had to go to detox AGAIN and now is in sober living AGAIN. He was actually huffing when his girlfriend found him and brought him to detox. That image is horrible for me. Why do they do this to themselves??? The only explanation is their brain is SICK. That is it. If you can accept that then it helps make sense of it all. Addiction is a real illness. Please try to take one day at a time. That is what I am doing too. I wake up every night in a sweat worrying about our son. He had a great therapist and she left and now he has to get a new one today. UGH. Why did she have to leave right now. We had a FaceTime with him on Friday evening and he seems so lost and alone and then I found out about the therapist he connected with that left. I immediately texted his program director and he called me and assured me that son is not alone and there are a lot of people watching out for him and that his new therapist will be seamless blah blah blah. I told him my son seems helpless, he kept rubbing his forehead, which is something his therapist said he did. Had not seen that before. I know he is not helpless. Maybe it was me feeling helpless. This week he will get a new therapist and a sponsor and looking for a job. I'm very stressed out about it all. I know it doesn't help him or me. Colleen please try to take care of yourself in spite of all that is going on. This is a long and very hard road and you have to save your strength. I am glad that he finally admitted that there is a problem though. That's a start. Hugs and prayers for you guys. [/QUOTE]
