Hi my name is Sharri and Im the mom of an addict. Hes been an activeuser for Id have to say 9 years. Just about 5 years ago now I put him out of the house. He had become aggressive and violent. He was bringing danger to my home and I was not going to have it. July 15th I got the call I had bern fearing, yet expecting. He overdosed and was in hospital on life support. Hes still on life support. I am told he will recover from his complications but he may not survive his addictionand thats scary. I need to prepare myself for the fact that he may still not get the help he so desperately needs when he gets out. Im scared, sad, angry most of all I love him but Im so so mad at him for doing this. We have tried so hsrd to get him help and to no avail. Im feeling rather hopeless. The officer who jas been working with him for the past year is trying to prepare me for the fact that he still may not be ready for sobriety. I dont know how to handle this. Theres so much I feel horrible for even though I know its not my fault. Thank you for letting me share a little.
Hi Sharri, I am sorry to hear of your current situation with your son. Everyone in this group has lived with and had to deal with an addicted loved one. You do not have to fight your battle dealing with your son alone. You will find a lot of support from this group, and learn so much that will help you deal with addiction. I remember when I first started coming to Nar-Anon, the first tool I learned that helped me so much in the beginning of my recovery was the 3 C’s. I didn’t Cause ir, I can’t Control it, I Can’t cure it. I would suggest attending our meetings and feel free to chat with anyone in the group. It’s a start for your own recovery. “With the understanding that addiction is a disease, and the realization that we are powerless over it, as well as over other people’s lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our own. Then, and only then, can we be of any help to others.”
