my son now 21 left on a plane one way ticket to Colorado , my sis was nice enough to take him in... as he was a Herion addict after 5 rehabs in less than a year with no success we let him know he could no longer stay living at our house , or visit ( the hardest thing i ever did ) to try to start a new life ..
well i am Giving God thanks today , he left on the plane in withdrawl .. hung in there , and has a great job. shares an apt with a work mate. and is 100% CLEAN !! He had friends die from the fentanol in Detroit this summer ..
God is Great .. We go in 5 days to see him .. for 2 weeks
this is a good day...

Bless your heart . Your post brought tears to my eyes, for as a parent I can only imagine how difficult that decison was. Wonderful to hear your son was one of the lucky ones to see the light and praise God is rehabiliated and doing so well! I lost my 38 yo baby brother to an alcohol and prec drug overdose and know that terrible pain .

I know you can't wait to wrap your arms around him.

God does indeed work in mysterious ways. ^i^

Good for you! I am so very happy for what you did, even though it was the hardest thing you ever did in your life. Enjoy your visit with your son!

 

[ADisneygirl]

That is great news! I bet that was the hardest thing you ever did, putting him on that plane a year ago, but look at how it turned out! You saved him and you should feel proud.

Your post brought tears to my eyes Huckster! God Bless you and your family and may your son remain clean forever. What a hard road he has had and still ahead. Your news is wonderful!!
I had a friend who I grew up with die at 33 because of an overdose. The one that killed him was his last "hoorah" before going into rehab the next day. He died in a hospital ER waiting room in NYC all alone and his drug buddies dropped him off and left. Stories like Paul's are all to common.
Your son definitely has a story to tell. May he help others as he helps himself.
You have a safe trip to CO and enjoy your time with someone you haven't been with in far too long ( as in he hasn't been his real self for as long as he was an addict).

God Bless your sister--she was very brave.

God bless your son. I am so happy for you!!
