 Jail is a forced issue. The only good that jail does is let you know where he is. I have said it over and over on the board here...the drugs are just as rampant in jail as they are out in the street. You can get anything in there. They even cook meth in there. I would tend to imagine that you would have to have a lot of money and/or a lot of pull to be able to stay addicted in jail. Since it is a forced clean, they are usually right back at it once they are out, no matter how long their sentence.

My husband's rock bottom was when I said to him, "I'm not going to allow you to do to Shane (our youngest) what you've already done to Shawn (our oldest)." It let him know that he truly hurt the one he loved more than anyone else...his son. It also let him know that I wasn't going to give him the opportunity to do the same thing to his other son...meaning he was going to lose his family. Luckily, that was his rock bottom...he didn't have to actually lose us, but knowing that I was serious was enough. He then prayed and prayed to God for guidance so that he would not lose us.

You need to pray! and pray! and pray! Pray for your son's guidance, health, well-being. Yell at the devil to let your son go. Pray for your own healing from what your son's addiction has done to you. Get educated on meth addiction, and take care of the one person you can take care of...yourself. Pray for your son's redemption...get him on a prayer chain, and then let go and let God. Only God can help a meth addict when they want it bad enough to seek Him.

God bless you and yours.
