I never asked him anything and he spoke a little about it, even saying that he is kind of hoping the judge will sentence him to rehab when he goes back to Court because he doesn't think he can stay this way. Any minute we get to spend with our kids when they are "sober" if even for that moment should be treasured.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469486624859667837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931608368046074653.post-75358538722764375892011-07-10T16:34:34.009-07:002011-07-10T16:34:34.009-07:00Oh - - - I soooo understand how you felt about see...Oh - - - I soooo understand how you felt about seeing your son and his girlfriend! A little over a year ago, I was in a very similar situation and encounter with my heroin addict daughter, Hayley. I met with her on her birthday, April 6, 2010 - and just tried to enjoy her and celebrate her being alive. At one point, I also had actually tried to get my daughter arrested (on a probation violation charge - there was a warrant out for her arrest), but the police were too understaffed to actually go out and do something like that. I was so afraid she was going to die from an overdose, infection, physical violence at the crack house, that jail seemed the safest place for her - and a chance at sobriety. My blog posts leading up to my daughter's eventual recovery, March - May, 2010, might give you some hope. As long as your son is alive, THERE IS HOPE! And seeing you and your family, may be the beginning of his journey towards recovery. You never know.

We focused on having a good time and making the best of our time together. <br /><br />My son would often remind me "I am exactly where I am suppose to be a this time in my life journey". <br /><br />He's come out the otherside and has been clean for 3+ years. But I often think about those words and trust God that we are all "exactly where we are suppose to be in our life's journey". <br /><br />God Blessyayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478820549540599530noreply@blogger.com
