I am sorry for your loss. I have lost many friends and my father to alcoholism and drug addiction. It is painful in a special way as it seems there must have been something that I could have done. Unfortunately, probably not. I have come to accept that it is a disease, very peculiar and distressing in its development. Perhaps it is one of the few diseases where the only one who can really help is the person who is himself sick. I have never seen someone who did not want to stop using stop. And it hurts me to have to watch them deteriorate. I can leave them my number, visit them, offer them help, but I cannot make them have the desire to stop using. There are people who have asked for help and that I have been able to support in their struggle back to reality and sanity. Perhaps those who were lost have somehow helped to make the road more easily travelled for those who wanted to "come back". Again I feel for your loss. I no longer ask "why" but rather "what can I use this for", "who can it help". That seemed like a tall order a few times, but it has helped me restore my own sanity and sense of reality. God bless.

i dont have a son with this problem but my aunt lost her son from a drug overdose, it is sad that the kids get mixed up in this stuff, it is such a waste of a good life.Be thankful your son is still alive and there is a chance you can get him back if he wakes up to what he is doing and i hope he does for your familys sake, you didnt mention how old he is, i am assuming he is a teen..my cousin was 28 when he died, just experimenting with cocaine from what i can gather and oneday just went too far :( I hope things get better for you and perhaps someday your son will be able to come back home to live a normal (drug free) life with you.all the best.

Uhhh, Niss- I believe she states explicitly that her son was "taken from [her]". That usually implies loss of life.

I am a 16 yo high school junior that struggled immensely with alcoholism as a 15 year old, and associated with the crowd that had access to the hard stuff (liquid and substance) as a way to self-medicate for my raging moods. That's all it ever was for me... a sort of "medication." I don't remember ever doing anything with any of the drugs that circulated around... I'd just get off with as much alcohol as I could and find a room to be alone.

Sorry that wasn't much help... but I can tell you it likely wasn't intentional- he had a void he felt he had to fill, and drugs seemed to fill it for him.

Drugs don' kill people, people kill people.look at the person not the drug as the problem drugs are a way to express things that you don't know how.
