What's happening Mark?
Well,nothing good my friends.I have recently found out that my son,my boy,has a drug addiction sad to say.I should have seen it coming but as he's had great grades in school and keeps a job,it somehow escaped me.
That being said,I've been very busy seeking help for him.
I never dreamed I'd be sending my own son to a rehab,but that's where it's gotta be.
Kids are funny (not),they never listen,even to parents that aren't that sterio typical nerd/old/uncool types.I did my fair share of stupidity when I was young.I told my boy of my life lessons,but he (and many like him) refuse to listen.
Why do they feel the need to fall on they're own face before they learn?
I don't know or understand.But...what I do know and understand is that I love him and will not let him kill himself.Not under my roof,not under my watch.
The kids today are different than years ago as are the drugs that they take.
It's alot to get my mind around.
I didn't even know what these drugs were until I looked them up :(
Roxy's = a street version of Oxycontin
Adderall = Amphetamines
Warn your children.
Watch your children
Take care & love your children.

sorry to hear its a good thing you caught it and are now taking steps. i wish your son the best
This is my field of study and here's what is important for you to remember: Younger people don't understand consequence, they believe themselves to be invincible. They also need to do a bit of experimenting and finding out for themselves. Don't blame yourself or anyone else, it doesn't achieve anything. Get him in a good program, be supportive even in the event of relapse, and when he gets out seriously encourage him to go to NA, it is a very helpful tool and meetings are frequent and free. Go with him if need be. Oxycontin is a motherfucker and it should be discontinued, it's tough to quit but with support and nonjudgement you and your family will survive this. Very sorry to hear your going through this.If you want more info or anything just shoot me an email at my hotmail account or call me. Oh, and BTW, Florida has some of the best treatment facilities in the country.
Thank you,thanks so much.
I really appreciate your support.
Were workin it.He's very combative (with words).He don't wanna go...but he's gonna.
I'll keep you all informed :)
Thanks again.

My Crack is the cheapest.....
Yeah...and fuck you you heartless douchbag.I hope you go where you belong.
Sorry to hear about your boy mate.
I hope you can get him to see sense and get some help... It's not good to have a drug dependency at his age, or any age for that matter, (as I know only too well) but I'm sure with the right guidance he'll get back on track.
;)
Addiction is a terrible thing. I have family going through the same. Patience goes a long way.
Ironically, Adderall is prescribed for children with ADHD. Much like Ritalin, it's basically legal speed.
I'm a college professor, responsible for anywhere from 150-225 students each semester, and one thing I've learned is that fucking up and failing is as valuable a learning experience as doing well. Some things can only be learned the hard way, and he may need to find his bottom before he's ready to get better. As his dad, all you can do is keep him alive so that he can learn those hard lessons.
maybe your boy is just depressed because he has a father so self centered that he would post his most personal problems on a public blog so as to get ehugs and advicus genericus from all his lame ass blogger friends.
Sorry to hear about your boy Mark. I hope he gets himself sorted. A;; the best mate.
Thanks to everyone...
It's nice to have your support.Well...except for this guy...
maybe your boy is just depressed because he has a father so self centered that he would post his most personal problems on a public blog so as to get ehugs and advicus genericus from all his lame ass blogger friendsMost personal?I think alot of parents deal with these issues.
Public blog...It's my blog.
I don't need e hugs lol,I'm just a very transparent person.What you see/hear is what you get.
I have no put on,no act.I'm me and I'm an open book.
I'm sorry you don't have friends.Maybe if you were a nicer person...
no you missed my point there braniac. its your boys most personal problems that your posting. something that only a self centered jackass would do. maybe if you spent less time posting nazi music and more paying attention to what your son does he wouldnt be in this mess. but i can tell from your posts that your a vain nazi sympathizer who hides behind his little keyboard hoping for praise from troops of sheeple so you can feel like somebody. you sir are the douchbag.
lol,you don't know me.At all.
But that's ok.
Even assholes have opinions.
Why is it that you come here?
Why,if you despise me so?
If I don't like someone I won't go to their house.Why do you come to mine.
Can't you stay away?
Guess not huh...
Your such an angry judgmental person.Maybe you should try to channel that energy in a positive manner :)
(Don't write back,I'll just delete it ok)
Oh yeah,and just to help you all understand...
My son,my boy (he'll always be a boy to me) is a man.
He's 19 & not so easy to keep track of,being that he is a man.
He has his own car/job & life.
When he was young of coarse I knew what he was doing but it's not so easy now when he can go wherever and see whoevever he likes.
I can only have so much control over an adult and I only have that control as long as he lives under my roof.
Things are looking up.
He loves our family and wants to do the right thing.
Ignore that jerk and hang in there. I'm not a fan of the RAC stuff you post but I'm not gonna be a dick to you during a time of crisis. One of my family is about to enter rehab for the 3rd time in about 4 years. Unfortunately, there is a high relapse rate, so you just gotta keep trying every day.
mi spiace Mark, spero tutto si risolva per il meglio,
un abbraccio.
zox
force mark!
un abrazo sice spain
Hey Mark- tough time for your family.
Hang in there.
Hi Mark, hope your son can realise that life's still good. Try to show it for him. Know it seems crazyness, but he like hard drugs, so, when he's gonna out of the rehab, try to teach himm how less agressive drugs (as marijuana) can help him to support what (and there's a lot of bad things in this world) is destroyin his self.
Words don't work , but an open talk, maybe a psychoterapy, can help. Don't recriminate him, we live in a complicated world.
All the best from Brazil!
Thanks Strongos.
Trouble is he likes any drug...all drugs.I think one of my mistakes as a parent was to look the other way about pot.
Some people understand moderation,most children don't.
I should have known better.
I've always been open to him about anything and everything.Hopefully now he will take advantage of that.
My eyes are on him,he can't fool me again.He's becoming more himself everyday & will be receiving help from myself/family/others as well as rehab.
We take each day,one at a time.
Thanks again to everyone.
It really helps me understand alot of things including my own emotions on said subject.
