My son is a drug addict. Lives with me for 2 yrs. Is on methodone for 2 years. he is 33 yrs. how can i help.?

My son used to not drink or drug. when he went to college he started doing a litle here and there. it did catch up with him. now he is not married no kids and lives his mother and I. He has a job. Works very well. He has been on a Meth. program for 2 years. He has stolen some of my drugs. in the last 7 years i have had to fight 3 types of cancer and problems. many surgeries etc. He may could walk away after a detox i don't know. his job may have medical benifits in about another month or two. Idon't know if the benifit would be drug rehab. my wife and I are stable but have been sinking slowley because of dying mother in law and two grandchildren that we help over 70 percent in there finances. actually i see no reason for him to quit. Her goes to work and when he gets home he lay's in bed and watches t.v. He is paying off debts etc. for when he was away from home for a few years. He used to be everybody's buddy but they all grew up and had families. he does have it made.

Make a plan with him for him to move out within a very short time and set the date. try reaching an agreement on a time limit of two weeks for when he will be living at another address. I respectfully submit this for your consideration because it is very difficult to do this to your child. however, if the stress causes your son to lose you, that will be more difficult for him than finding another place to live. you deserve your space, wellness and to keep your personal assets. Children should be put out of the nest so that they learn to be independent and not dependent. thus, this is in your son's best interest as well.

You need to let him deal with his own problems. you can't fix this. Give him a move out date. it hurts, but you are not going to make him better. He has to do it himself if he decides he wants to.

LET ME JUST SAY THAT HE IS SO VERRY LUCKY TO HAVE YOU GUYS IN HIS LIFE, IM ALSO A RECOVERING ADDICT, AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SUPPORT AND LOVE HIM THREW THIS .IT DOES TAKE TIME,BUT SOON IN BABY STEPS OUR LIVES COME BACK TOGETHER AND WE RELIZE HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE OUR FAMILY, SO JUST LOVE HIM AND SUPPORT HIM AND AVENTUIALLY HELL HAVE A FOUNDATION OF HIS OWN TO STAND ON.

At the risk of being callous — tell him its time to go…. STOP solving everybodys problems with money…. they are all adults and its time for them to grow up… you are probably middle aged and/or elderly….. The time to look out for YOU IS NOW!!!… STOP being so generous…. The fact is when you get real old and frail will these people be there for you?? Huh?? Not likely or at least dont hold your breath….. Tell then your broke. tell them your car needed $1000 in repairs last week – tell them anything – just dont tell them you have any money – as a matter of fact ask them for some money back because you need to pay a bill…. See what happens — thats a good way to get them to stop asking! Dont be a facilitator for there behavior…. — bunch of mooches…..

very hard situation. I would try my best to talk him into getting help.. but unless he wants a change it's a problem.

if he'd refuse, I wouldn't just watch him digging his own grave.
. i would call a spouse or a friend, sat him down and told him he is given an option to voluntary seek treatment… because you won't tolerate the drug habbit anymore.

if he refuses, there is one more chance left. it's harsh, but if you're running out of options, you might consider it – calling a cops on him might result in arrest for possession and court order for rehab which could help him comming off clean from the dope.

if his meth isn't being decreased, kick his butt out. He's 33, let him figure things out – it's not your responsibility. If he's not part of the solution, then he's part of the problem.

He is an ADDICT..we don't know the meaning of moderation. just because he's currently a functioning addict doesn't make it OK. Have an intervention..sit down..tell him you know he's taking your prescriptions and it's not tolerated…there are state funded programs out there for drug rehab. Perhaps he just needs to be refocused. But looking the other way is only enabling his disease to grow into the out of control state it was before. I implore you to love him enough and tell him if another pill is so much as out of place he's out. Addicts only realize they need help more often than not when they've hit rock bottom. Don't let him fall there again.

Hi,
I used "Credit Solution" to settle my debt and improve my credit score.they managed to reduce my debt up to 58%.It's legitimate.I came across this company on NBC News Special Edition.Check it out here:
