My son left treatment after 2 weeks. He's been white knuckling his 'sobriety'. He's been great to talk to and even helped us move this weekend. He's been discouraged about his job search....his misdomeaner possession charge keeps getting in the way.
He wanted to go back to his dads, so we dropped him off last night. He was going to contact me today to get paid for work (his cell was going to be turned on for a month) BUT no one has seen or heard from him today!
He lost his car, so travels by bus around Houston...and tonight a young mail was waiting for a bus and was murdered. I have ice water in my veins! I'm worried. I'm terrified.
I hate this!

((((Hugs)))). I also can imagine the worst. These kids, our addicts are survivors. Let his HP take care of him & your HP take care of you. You are not alone. They never realize what havoc they cause by dropping off the grid. Again ((((hugs)))).
Katy I can so relate to you.. God we are asking to please take care of Katy and her son and that she hears from him very soon. In Jesus name amen. Your not alone.
Update. He was fine.
Again, creating the fear by imagining the worst made it hard on me! Note to self, stop doing that!!!
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
One day (one minute) at a time!

I'm so happy he is OK. I know what you were going through because i have been there myself. I know as mom's we worry but it's how much and how long before we stop getting crazy about it and letting it get so much worse than it really is.
I try and focus on me and ask myself many questions of what good will it do, then how should I handle it and talk to others about it.
