Testimonies: Having children who have drug problems
The truth is that you can take their children to rehabilitation, but can not stop using drugs or alcohol. If there is a desire to use drugs, there is also a way to find them. Every effort to help their children stop using drugs (in locking them up and throw away the key), probably will not work until they decide for themselves are prepared to close. This does not mean that you should not try, it just means you can not stop unless you want to use. They should decision.
who has managed the rehabilitation of a drug or alcohol addiction will tell you that there must be recognition of a problem before the healing begins. Here lies the problem. We can not admit that your child is dependent, you must admit that the problem alone. Until you do, you're talking to a brick wall that does not want to hear. You will find that save their mental health needs facing emotionally closed until the child realizes that he needs help. Then it becomes even worse when you realize that the time will never come.
The alternative to emotional closeness is acceptable as they are, despite their dependencies. This makes you a facilitator for the problem. Sure, he says, "I love you, no matter what" but also, he says, "I love you so good for me to continue to abuse drugs and destroy his body." I had to decide which was worse, and that is definitely the last. It 'hard to get away from his son, but is the only chance you have of helping himself to realize he needs help. Until then, there's nothing else to do, especially if the child is an adult. That's not to say that he loves you. This does not mean I'm not interested. It is natural that never cease to love and care for their children, but we draw the line what they are willing to accept.
Two of my three sons are drug impairment. One of them is addicted to the illicit drug, methamphetamine, and one of them is addicted to drugs most famous of all, alcohol. From the perspective of a father who literally makes you think and arrive at their funerals. I know it sounds terribly morbid, but mentally walked through the funerals of the two. I did this because all my efforts to save my sons have failed miserably. Are now ages 31 and 26, and the madness of drug addiction has lasted for almost a decade. You may ask how can I give up hope of salvation. This is understandable, because I have the same question so many times I lost count. The answer is closely tied to the horse people "stubborn" adage: you can lead a horse to water but can not be forced to drink. This is sad, but true.
see all the programs on the dangers of addiction, and I read all the articles found on this topic. Here's how I know I'm doing something right. I pray every day that my children come to me and say they are willing to stop using, and pray even harder that will not die before that day. Until then, I'm preparing for inevitablethe early death of my children. No parent should survive their children, but parents of drug addicts often do.
