As some of you might have read my son is a recovering Meth addict and is serving some time - I love him and I am still proud he is my son - he has a beautiful heart , good shoulders like his mom , smart - also from his mom - lots of baggage from his past - but is doing great.
This is a pic of my daughter , son and I - cute family aren't we
This is my son and I trying to do a Flex pic together - I was laughing to hard to pull it off

very cute family.
there's a lot of that crap in the construction industry (i really don't understand why though as i've never needed it and i tend to work circles around the users)...makes perfectly good people do some seriously whacked out things.
i've never had anyone close go off the deep end though...that would be very rough.
best wishes with your son.thank God for my dogs...i owe them my life.

I passed my 20th year of continuous recovery (clean and sober) from narcotics addiction this year. So it can be done.

He had some physical abuse in is past and that caused some rocky teen years that we thought he made it through - but went back to using - he said he needed to hit bottem and he did.

I am going through one at our Church - helps a lot. Went through one when he was younger - but I think I was just as much in denial that he had a problem as he was.Originally Posted by chodan9

Looks like a positive life change that is surrounded by a welcoming environment and a loving family. Be supportive, and strong for him.
Wonderful job as a parent!

Meth is so horrible. I have had family members get messed up with it and it is ugly.
As a mother of one 'wayward son' to another, I wanted to let you know that I have seen amazing changes in my 19 year old son that have come about through much prayer and love. We got him out of the 'bad' situation (living with my ex-husband) and are working with him toward making a better life for himself.
I understand the 'pride' of a momma, even when things go tough. We never stop being momma.
(((hugs))) to you and your family.T.H.I.N.K before you speak. Ask yourself, is it TRUE, HELPFUL, INSPIRATIONAL, NECESSARY, and KIND? If not, then just keep it to yourself.

There is nothing so powerful or beautiful as the love of a mother! I pray for his continued and complete recovery.

When I cleaned up 28 years ago, it was important that I stayed away from old "friends". That was the key to success. He needs to meet new friends in a better enviroment and influences. Without this, the odds of long term recovery is slim at best. Start talking to him about this now so he is prepared to deal with old influences.

My niece hit rock bottom with meth many years ago. She got involved with the wrong people, did meth, got pregnant, etc etc etc.. And she was 14!
BUT.... Now she is a happy mother of 3, has a great husband, and has a completely "normal" life. People can and do definitely turn themselves around with the right help and support around them. Props for being there for your son!

Great looking family; thanks so much for sharing the pictures. May you and your son continue to find strength to work with his recovery. I've known some people who've gone down that path and I know that recovery can be hard fought for - a so worth it. A supportive family is a huge plus.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragements
It is a little scary to tell others about my son - never sure how people will react.
My daughter and I are open about his problems and where it lead him - in hopes it might help another family. My daughter even ran an anti drug group at her middle school - and she read her brothers poem about Meth to the entire school- hoping to reach at least one kid.
My kids and I are very close - even through all this, our love was never in question.

Thanks again everyone - Just talked to my son and read all the posts to him - he couldn't believe how great you all are - It's amazing how a few words from new friends can make someone feel so welcome and so comforted.

Thanks for being so open and sharing. It's powerful that you and your daughter can stand by him while he cleans his life up. He will hopefully appreciate it more with each passing day. Well done.
