The reward always felt great and worth it.

The heroin out there can be so pure...I was gone a couple of hours, he was going to his best friends house for dinner and had a life plan. He thought he had kicked it or convinced me of that. Gone in a flash. Brilliant musician, great athlete and friend to hundreds. Why did you have so much pain. I think the biggest reason kids turn to this is underlying pain. Ian had been 19 for 1 day. My heart is bleeding. It has been 3 weeks and one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-33242820839333992592009-10-03T10:45:23.880-07:002009-10-03T10:45:23.880-07:00Carol,

The longer he stays in there, the more of the shit gets out of his system, the better.<br /><br />Good news! He has been interviewed for "Drug Court". We'll find out in about 2 weeks whether or not he is accepted. Step one is 90 inpatient rehab. Not sure what happens after that, as this will be our first experience with it. Do you know anything about this? I'm loaded with questions, and nobody to ask.<br /><br />Praying...Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-50589745569704092342009-10-02T13:25:01.863-07:002009-10-02T13:25:01.863-07:00Deep sigh.

I read my son's text messages and wanted to throw up - the desperation of texting dealer after dealer, the "I'll meet you on the corner" or "I'm right outside" or "how much?" "Im sick man". Every item he every owned of value is gone...his expensive Peavy amp, his bass guitar, his PS2. Plus all the money he stole and my sister's rare coin collection. <br /><br />That's how desperate these addicts are. Few people can understand this unless they see it first hand, so thank you for this story, I hope people that don't have addicts read it and get an idea. <br /><br />Also, when cleaning his room this last time I found my pink fuzzy robe belt. He used my pink fuzzy robe belt! The pink fuzzy robe I have worn to hold him in my arms. His tears, not long ago, were soaked up by the pink fuzzy robe. It symbolizes me and my love for him - why did he use my pink fuzzy robe belt? He could have used a friggin shoelace.<br /><br />Sorry. I'm a bit erratic today.

One of the homes that was burglarized was the home of my daughter's "boyfriend's parents" - the other grandparents.<br /><br />According to news reports, one of the addicts (all are) stole a gun, and then a few days later *called* the victim on the phone to tell him if he wanted his gun back it would cost $100.00!! Oh - and they had already traded the gun for drugs. <br /><br />It is insanity.Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824831201121143893noreply@blogger.com
