So, I told in another post how a friend of my AH called and said he was talking weird and I freaked out. Well yesterday AH came over and told me that YES, he was sick for 4 hours, not being able to talk, drink water, eyes rolled back, purple lips, seizure, bad bad bad. He was smoking heroin! This is new information to me. He says that was the first time he did it. I wanna believe him but I dunno know. He obviously says that he doesn't wanna do drugs ever again. That this has been a wake up call and that things are gonna get better. This just scares me so much, cause if he parties again, chances are he's gonna do heroin again and he never thinks enough is enough. But at the same time I know there is nothing I can do about but ask my HP to guard his life as I do ever day. I told him yesterday for the first time in attending Al-Anon, and that he should try and go to meetings. He didn't say anything. I'm gonna keep going, asking my HP to please have mercy on him and to guide me.
Just wanted to vent.

Priscilla, I remember when you posted the first time. Smoking heroin is scary. It sounds like your working your program well to realize you have no control over him and he is going to do what he's going to do. Of course since addicts lie, you have no idea whether this is the first time he's done this or not. What you DO know is that you didn't cause it, you can't cure it, and you can't control it. Keep praying and asking your HP for guidance about this matter, you're on the right track.
