Hello all,
This website was sent to me by a dear friend. I have a son who has problems so I'm hoping I can find some advice here regarding how to cope with this. I have no experience at all with addictions so I have much to learn. Thank you for this website. | ||

Hi Sea Shell, Welcome to the board. The family section sounds like its where you need to start. So many good and helpful folks there. I am from the heroin board mostly and not much help in the family member deptartment but the right folks will be along soon, if your in Europe those across the pond are not awake yet, but come to think of it; there are a few family members out here with us...i will post over there so they know your here.

Dear Seashell
Welcome please stay on these sites you will find alot of support, I have only been here about 2 months and I have learned so much. The best sites to get advice for your son is the following one's: Families/Partner of Addicts: - My son the proverbial addict Let me fall all by myself My son is at a cross road How long can I still Help my son with out giving up and on the Heroin site: No hope for Herion addicts true/or false. (AND IT WILL HELP EVEN IF YOU SON ARE ONLY ON LIGHT DRUGS LIKE WEED ETC.) On these sites you will find a lot of advise because there is so many different stories: Son's that has just started drugs Son's like mine that is in the middle and Son's that has gone far into it already. and each mom's story speak of courage and advise on how to deal with it Hope you find what you looking for God bless Priscilla | ||

good morning Seashells,
my advice to you is to go to an al-anon meeting . you will find family members there who are going through the same things that you are.They can give you a little insight of what goes on in the daily lives of parents ect..that have children or other family members who are addicted. If you don't "feel at home"with the first group after a few meetings,don't give up.Go to another one until you find the one that makes you feel like you belong.The first meetings you might want to just sit and listen,but you will find support in those rooms. granny2 3 -------------------- I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH LOVE MY HEART COULD HOLD UNTIL SOMEONE CALLED ME GRANDMA.
