My adult addicted son has been showing all the signs of reverting back to using again.
I have been holding my breath since his rehab last Oct. hoping for a good out come, but last evening he came over to my house, very hostile when asked any questions, was not clean, eyes not clear.
My heart has been pounding every since, I am at work now and it helps to be busy, please just say a little prayer today for him and me.
(((Dreams))) I am sorry you are going through this. Try to remember "what will be...will be". Let go of holding your breath and just breathe in and out while saying the serenity prayer. HP will take care of A son. It is completely out of our hands.
I just want to say---I can relate. My son -also- recently lost it. The signs were there before too. First--just never any return call or word from him----- then received a sudden strange kind of text...
.last....a mid-night call when he was out of his head.
It seems triple hard for me to "let go" when I am the parent. But then I also have to say-when I look at myself honestly---I have my own negative spins and circles- that don't relate to him too. Self-care hasn't been at all---a strength of mine.
What came out of this return of his-----was a friend of his from meetings he's attended....was able to get him appt with a doctor...that clearly spelled out "the addict brain" and where my son was at.
My son shared what physician (addiction specialist) told him.
I just find myself so frightened and still confused at times on how or where my own "help" or attempts to help---starts or ends. Interventions for getting someone into residential treatment?
I am also not as regular in Alanon attendance---as should be At all.
