Hi Debbie!

I understand what you mean about finally being able to sleep because he is in jail. It was when my son was put into jail after 2 years of meth use, that I finally found my first bit of peace. Strange that what you thought would devistate you years ago ( being in jail ) now is just what needed to happen. Even more strange is... as I was reading your post, I was wishing that I were you. That my son showed up at my house and I could do the very thing you did.

I would love to tell you that it was a cry for help. It very well might have been but, it could of been that he was just out of resources to supply his addiction. My son made many trips home for that very reason. He had exhausted all his means of supply. After a while, even meth user friends get tired of being used. My son would come home and be "ready to change his life", work for a bit, be clean, make some money, go to some outpatient meetings ( refused inpatient) and then poof... out the door and off to atlanta again. Back to some old but, mostly, a new set of meth users. I pray that this is not your situation.. that your son really has hit rock bottom and will seek help. I just wanted to tell you of my experience with the "trips home".

Lots of hugs Mom and prayer for you and your family !

Rhonda
