Today is so hard to not think about his smile. The funny things he used to say. His comfort and kind love.
I hold such a hatred in my heart for these terrible drugs that ripped our loved ones and family members from our lives.
Praying for you all, and just remember there's nothing we can do to change their actions.

I agree. I thought that this morning when I woke up! My son was in a haze all day yesterday-unreachable.
Hang in there! We have to keep "moving towards the sunshine, and the shadows fall away"! (Thanks, Mary <3)

I have good days and bad days. Yesterday all I could think about was-- is he ok, is he eating, does he have a place to live, does he ever think about us? Was having a pity party after seeing my friends kids graduate from college and getting jobs and doing so well. So hard to move past all that!
I have had no contact from my son since July 1st when I text him that I was taking a 6 month break and would not have anymore contact with him until January 2018 and only if he was drug free and getting his life together. He tried one time after that by texting me to unblock him from facebook. I did not. I did not respond. Killed me to do that but was absolutely the only way that I could deal with his drama and abusive verbal abuse to me!
I am more focused on my life and I am more relaxed and sleeping well finally! Yes, it is still popping back into my thoughts at times, but I am his mom and I can't erase that --only can think about having my life back and taking care of my elderly husband and 15 y/o disabled son. Only can pray for my adult addicted son and let him go so God can be in control and not me.
Praying for all of us and for our addicted kids!

ps. Sombra if you read this post let me know how it is going with you. I think you and I are some of the very few that have set a 6 month break period with our addicted kids.

Hi Trying, Its just all so sad what drugs have done to the ones we love. I've read when one person gets addicted to drugs it affects 10 people around them. I quite believe it. I hate everything to do with drugs. I hate that pot has been made legal in some states too. I've read too many times that it's the gateway drug to the harder stuff. Your in a good place coming on here because we're all in this together and here for each other. Take care, Mary.
Hi P, Glad you liked that little quote:-) Thinking of you. Mary.

when one person is addicted it effects at least 10 people around them - A. family members B. friends who they are using with, buying from and selling to.. and their families and those they are buying and selling to and so on.... add in the sadness when a loved one dies. it forever changes everything. my son's best friend died and another friend - one OD and one suicide. I wonder if my son and the friends left behind understand that it was not just an unfortunate event. If this group of friends was not addicted they would not be part of these tragic events. they could have been living in the success of quitting the addiction. now they will forever be haunted by it. yes, it is horrible. sorry for the addition of sad thoughts.
