Hi Everyone - I happened upon this site this morning looking for info about crack and crack addiction. My son is addicted to crack. He is 21 and has been doing it on and off for the past 5 years - since he was 16. He also has bi-polar disorder, a mental illness that makes the situation even worse as his drug use combined with the illness has wound him up in the psychiatric ward completely messed up for months at a time. He has been doing well recently, and was off the drugs for three months until last week, when he had a relapse. He is curently in detox and will hopefully be going into a two month rehab next week if all works out. He's been in rehab once before when he was 17 but he didn't want to quit then - was forced by the courts to go. The situation is different now because he says he really wants to quit and get his life back togather. God, I hope so. It's been a long road and I'm getting tired. I also know the longer he's in the lifestyle the harder it will be for him to get out alive.
I've read quite a few of the other posts and can so identify with the pain, fear and hopelessless many of you are feeling. I'm very aware of the stats on recovery, but like everyone else, I'm hoping my son will be the exception. Any tips on how I can help him through this?
My heart goes out to all of you out there struggling with this - addicts, friends and family alike. I'm pulling for you.

Hi Mom!
Pray. That's the best tip I can give you. Your son can make it! There is no RULE that addicts have to relapse, so do not pray for an exception... Pray for recovery, it happens!
Good luck & God Bless!

Thanks LostSoul - I was beginning to wonder if anybody cared about just another mom of just another crackhead. I have been down this road so many times hoping and praying that he will get out of it - I've done everything from denial to tough love to letting him rule my life to almost becoming an addict myself in order to deal with the pain of watching him destroy his life. I know how hard it is to stay clean when your head is all messed up and it feels better to be high than to have to deal with all the sh*t. Been there, done that, and don't know that I won't go there again. (But not today!)
I'm not a particularly religious person - don't know if I believe in god or not, but I have done some praying thru all this, and I am beginning to believe that my son must have a gaurdian angel to have survived some of the sh*t he's been through. And I'm sure I only know the half of it, even though we are very close.
I guess the part I'm having a hard time knowing what to do about is how much help is too much? He's been very dependant on me through all of this and I really want to try to cut the apron strings - gradually - but it always seems like I'm saying "I'll help just this one more time", you know?
Thank you for your support and prayers. I really appreciate it. Sounds like you've managed to break the hold drugs had on you (way to go!), so we know it is possible. I guess what's hard for me is I have seen so many people - friends and acquaintances - die because of this and I have watched so many more struggle with this addiction, that I have a little better idea than most people of how hard it is to beat.
Thanks again for your kind words,
CM

CM,
Your son is very lucky to have a mom like you! Prayers are answered every day, you just have to have faith. I think you've done everything you can, and really the only thing you can do is be there for him.
I will pray for you too!

Keep reinforcing in your son how badly he wants to do this for himself. He will not be able to stay away from it unless he REALLY wants to and is vigilant about not getting in vulnerable situations. He must completely change his playpen and his playmates. It will be important for him to be vigilant about his recovery, to stay focused, and most of all, to stay positive.
It can be done, and after a while, it becomes a whole lot more fun.

oh yeah, about helping him out financially. Don't give any money!!!!
That doesn't mean you have to let him starve or sleep on the street - but no cash.

Thank you Jen for your prayers and positive words. My son can sure use them.
Thank you Marmaduke for your practical advice. I will remember it today when I am talking to him on the phone. (The detox he is in is 2 1/2 hours away as we live in a fairly small town and they don't have one here.) He has already realized that he needs to change his "playpen and playmates", as you put it, and is taking steps to move away from here once he is through his rehab. In fact, he has already given notice on his apartment because he says he can't go back there. He is finding it too hard to turn away the other crack heads that come calling. They all know where he lives and know he will give in to the crack if they show up with it. Also that once he is high he will sell, hock or steal anything it takes to get more. That is what happened just recently when he had his relapse. The only bad thing about that is where will he go if this rehab thing doesn't work out? He has burned alot of bridges and my husband won't allow him to come home. I would, but know it would eventually end up being a disaster if that happened because I couldn't handle it either.
As for giving cash, my husband and I had made a vow last fall not to do that anymore because we knew where it was going. So instead we would buy him groceries every week, but still that ends up that his own cash goes all for drugs, even though he has other bills that remain unpaid. He hasn't worked for the last year since he got out of the mental hospital and is on a disability pension (very small.) So a person even wonders if that is the right thing to do.
I broke my own rule last Monday though and gave him $50 because he said he needed it to pay a debt (drug related) and if I didn't give it to him he would get hurt. There have recently been two brutal drug-related murders in our small town and I fell for his story out of fear. Of course, he went on another binge -after having spent three days at our place sleeping and "recovering" from the last binge. Also, he has taken a loan from one of those payday loan places that charges outrageous interest (they call them fees!), so now this $600 loan is costing $150 every two weeks in interest until he can get it paid off. I may end up borrowing money to pay it for him because if he does the rehab I don't want that to be building up to the tune of $150 every two weeks. It would be just too much stress for him to handle in there and I doubt he would end up staying. Am I doing the wrong thing by paying that? We paid off a similar loan for him a year ago and he vowed he would never do that again. I have already gone in and told the loan place that my son is a drug addict and has a mental illness and not to give him any more loans. They said they would "put a note in his file" whatever that means. The funny thing is, and this is one of the things that makes me think he is really ready to make changes this time, when I told my son what I had done he actually thanked me (usually he would have gotten mad) because he said he was happy not to have that loan place available when he wanted money for crack.
It's four o'clock in the morning here and I couldn't sleep because I'm worried about my son so I may be babbling on here. Last night when I talked to him he said things weren't going well at the detox and that he almost got in a fight and got kicked out because he had been accused of stealing some stuff from one of the other patients. He said he didn't do it and got really p****d off and almost flipped out on them. The thing is that before he started doing crack I would have defended him to the earth's end that he wouldn't steal anything ever and now I really don't know. I know he has stolen in the past to support his habit. But would he steal now when he is in the detox? I just don't know anymore. If he gets kicked out of there it could blow his chance of getting into the rehab, even though it's at a different facility. Also I'm worrried about his mental state of health. He is very volatile right now with the stress of coming down and making all these big decisions for his life. Also with his mental illness he doesn't take his meds when he is doing the crack and ends up really unstable. It takes a few weeks for him to get back to normal after coming down.
So anyway, blah, blah, blah - sorry to go and on and on but I really am worried about him and feel so helpless to do anything about it.
Thanks again everyone for your support. It really helps just to know there are people out there listening who care.

Don't worry about you thinking you're babbling, that is what this site is for, to vent! We all are here to support you, to listen to you and give you advice.
Everything you said about your son, I couldn't help but notice my boyfriend does some of the same things.
I've heard him tell his mom (and even try with me) that he needed money to pay off a crack debt, but then use the money for more crack.
I never did fall for it though, I'm not one to lend my money out. But his mom always did, she always fell for his excuses. His brother owes payday loans right now as well for crack.
His mom has nothing in her house, no TV, no furniture except a couch, nothing because they've hocked everything. At least my boyfriend is going away for a year, his brother has no intentions of getting help. He basically goes to work, makes $3000 a month, spends it ALL on crack, and sits at home. NEVER goes out, doesn't date, nothing.
Anyways I hope your son gets the proper help he needs..I hope this Teen Challenge will be interesting for him, its a great program from what I've heard. My boyfriends been there before (court order) and he loved it except he got kicked out for picking a fight with someone else. He wasn't ready to quit at the time anyways.
Keep us posted!

Hey 1 Hit Away -
Thanks for your response. I can feel the pain in your words. I know my son doesn't want to do the things he is doing, just as you don't want to hurt your loved ones, that is why I don't want to give up hope on him. I want to help him get through this if I can.
How are you doing now with your addiction? You are obviously at least thinking of giving it up if you are here on this site. I wish you all the best and pray for you to get the strength you need to come through this.
Sending positive energy your way,
CM

Hi Everyone- thanks for all your responses and support.
1 Hit Away - glad to hear you are off the drugs for now. You're right, one day at a time! I'm pulling for you.
Julie - Hope all is well with you and your boyfriend. Thanks for your support and conversation. I'll be checking in on your posts to see how things are going for you.
JC - Thanks for asking and for your prayers.
Actually, the last couple of days have been very hard. I went to pick my son up from the detox on Tuesday. I brought him home with me as he needed to see a doctor here and submit a medical report to the rehab he has applied for. When we got back to town we stopped at his apartment to get him some clothes then came out to our place (out of town a ways). Anyway, as soon as we got here, he disappeared into the bush behind the house. I thought this was pretty weird so I went down there to see what he was doing and there he was smoking up. He had a little bit of something left at his apartment apparently and just couldn't wait to smoke it! I was really upset - mad and sad - I couldn't belive he would do that after all the hard work we've been doing to try to get things going for him. He said it wasn't crack but chrystal. Does anybody know what that is? To me it looked like the scrapings out of a crack pipe or something. Fine whitish brownish powder. Anybody with any ideas please let me know. Anyway, whatever it was, it really p****d me off to see him doing it. He said I shouldn't be so nosy! I told him that if he did any more drugs of any kind while he was here I would kick him out for good.
So anyway then yesterday we went to the doctor and he faxed all the reports down to the rehab. My son phoned them to see when he could come there and suddenly they have changed their tune now that they see how many meds he is on for his mental illness (bipolar). They gave him some BS story about how they are concerned about his health and don't know if they can accept him for the wilderness camp. Yet his physical health is fine other than the addiction problems. I know they are actually concerned that they will get him out in the middle of nowhere and he will flip out, which is a valid concern, but of course they wouldn't just say that. I talked to the director of the program and asked if they would just give him a chance at the regular rehab centre from now until the wilderness program starts at the beginning of July. If it doesn't work out, they can just call me and I will come and get him at any time (it's about a four hour drive from here). So she said she would let us know today. Who knows.? In the meantime, he has an appointment to get referred for another rehab centre today and we will go to that appointment regardless so if one coen't work maybe the other will. All we can do is keep trying I guess.
In the meantime, my son is staying here and it is very stressful for the whole family. He is extremely irritable and rude and driving everyone nuts. God, I hope things work out. I really don't know how much more of this any of us can take.
But I'm feeling okay today and hope the day will bring good news. Bye for now,

Hi Mom!
Maybe your son would like to talk to some of us... Maybe it's easier to talk to others who know what you're going through than to talk to "Mommy"...Just a thought.
Good luck & God Bless,

Hi Lost Soul - I'm back again. I talked to my son about the site yesterday but he wasn't interested. His exact words were "I don't need that sh*t, I go to NA." It's too bad he won't come on here. I think he could learn alot from you and the other people on this site. Maybe he'll change his mind later on.
Yesterday was another up and down day, but I think in the end it has worked out. Number one, he is still clean and wanting to stay clean, so I am happy about that. The rehab centre called and said they had decided to accept him but not until the 17th. That made him mad because he wants to get started now, which I don't blame him. He is having such a struggle staying clean out here with no support other than his family and it is very boring for him. He knows if he goes into town alone he will just start again so is staying away from his apartment and "friends". Anyway, he decided not to wait for the program. He says it won't do him any good anyway, he already knows what he has to do to beat this. So he is leaving tomorrow to another city to live with some of his father's family whom he has never met but has talked to on the phone. He says he is really scared and I am scared for him. But at the same time I think he is making the right decision to get away from here. He will be meeting his father for the first time (he's been in jail since before he was born) and his little half-sister who is three and a half.He's so excited about that. He wants to start going to meetings every night there and really try to make a go of it. I pray (yes, JC, I'm praying now :-) that it will work out for him.
What do you think of all this, Lost Soul? I value your input. I've read a lot of the other posts and you seem to have such wisdom and insight to offer.
Hope all is going well for you and your friend that you were worried about.

Hi Mom!
I think your son is doing the right thing. It must be very difficult for him at the moment... Getting clean, leaving town, meeting his Dad for the first time, his baby sister. It's a lot to go through for anyone. My guess is that he has issues with his father that he's going to have to face now and it scares him. No more drugs to help him hide, no more distance to help him forget,... Heeeere's Daddy!! It's going to be tough, hope he is as well. I think it'll probably go smoothly at first, then the s*it's going to hit the fan and you'll see what kind of men they both are by the way they emerge from this. I wish them both a lot of Love!
I'm glad you're praying! He listens I tell you! You might want to pray for someone to tell your son "Watch your fu*king mouth when you speak to your Mother boy!"...That's no way to speak to a lady. If he speaks to you like that... Anyway, your son, not mine. Good thing for him! LOL!
Have a great day Mom!
Good luck & God Bless all of you!

I think your son is doing the right thing. It must be very difficult for him at the moment... Getting clean, leaving town, meeting his Dad for the first time, his baby sister. It's a lot to go through for anyone. My guess is that he has issues with his father that he's going to have to face now and it scares him. No more drugs to help him hide, no more distance to help him forget,... Heeeere's Daddy!! It's going to be tough, hope he is as well. I think it'll probably go smoothly at first, then the s*it's going to hit the fan and you'll see what kind of men they both are by the way they emerge from this. I wish them both a lot of Love!

Hi Crack Mom,
I can't believe that the rehab won't help your son out because of his medical condition. My boyfriend too has to submit his physical results to them before he goes down.
He's been doing good as long as he's at my place, but as soon as he goes to his moms, he's doing crack, like two days ago even. But I realize I can't help him anymore, so I just went out shopping and let him do his thing, as long as it wasn't around me.
Anyways I've experimented with Crystal before, its a form of Meth or Speed. It's just as bad as Crack and just as addictive, if not worse..because its nothing but chemicals that is not good for the body. Not that any drug is.
One more month till he goes away, thank God. I love him but because he just did crack a couple of days ago, he's irritable and rude and hard to put up with. But at least he stays clean while he's at my place.
I really hope your son gets his help..its too bad that drugs have to take a hold of our loved ones like this.
