Hi Karen,
As a mother I can try to imagine how this must make you feel. Does you son have any idea what it's like to stop a drug like ativan (a benzo type drug) if he becomes addicted to it? I didn't find out until it was too late. It's a real horror to come off of. I wish I had some advice for you. Maybe he can see the cycle of addiction in your family broken by you and become inspired by it. Leading is best done by example. I wish I had some concrete advice for you. Keep trying to talk to him. Good luck Fitzy. How are youi doing on the painpills? Beck

Hi Karen.....
Methadone and benzo's are a dangerous mix......Benzo's are also mixed with methadone for the high it produces....
You know and this is sad to say that there is nothing you can do for him. He has to get this himself, save himself. You will only drive yourself crazy trying to get into his head to see where he is, what is up....
Please take care of you....I am not sure of your story but looks like you have your own demons to fight.....
Love,
Tina

Karen, Your post broke my heart. I am so very sorry. You've been through so much.
I also have to agree that no matter what you say or how you say it or beg your son is going to do whatever he wants. The benzo's with the methadone are definately taken together for the high. People at the methadone clinic are always looking for them.
Your little grandaughters need you, and you need to take care of you for them. As addicts we always do have an answer for everything. Of course we do. I'd let him know you love him, but ultimately he has to love himself first.
My prayers will go out for your son. I'm truly sorry you have to go through this.

thankyou all, today iam realy sturgling with my oun demmons, my son let me take my granduther last nite, iv never seen him so ager at me, i do blame myself iv not been there for him, to wraped up on my own needs, those f--,pills, they have desrode my life for the last 3 years, iv wached this disses take manny lives, myn, soon, if things don,t change i have my doc app, monday some one sent me some info on sub in my are.in canada so im asking my doc about on monday, how can i till my son enything if i don,t do it myself. today i only took one the other choes i have is let a nuerse frind help, becuse of my cronek pain, sorry about the spilling, thanks karen.
I think it is a great idea for you to try the sub if you have chronic pain it is not a cure all but taken with some Aleve or ibuprofen you can get alot of relief good luck to you and I agree you must do something different if you want him (your son ) to also.Lead by example is my EXACT THOUGHTS!!!! Love cris
