My son struggles with addiction, to heroin, meth, and whatever else he can get his hands on..I've kicked him out, tried to help in all ways a parent can. Now, he is homeless on the streets. I know he will contact me, I'm afraid of that. I am tired of letting this consume my life anymore. What makes this worse is that he has never been to treatment. Because he keeps thinking he can quit on his own. What do I do?
unfortunately there is nothing you can do until he asks for help- until he really wants help- otherwise you will just end up enabling him to continue to use drugs-no one can make an addict quit- any addict who quits for any other reason than their own desire to quit will very seldom stay sober or clean-this is his journey and hard as it is you must let him make his own way wherever that may take him- that is the reality of addiction unfortunately-
