Thank you for such a truthful article, it gives me hope that my son, a meth addict may also come to his senses.
About 5 years ago I made the decision to block him from my life.
It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I am 76 now, am carer for both.my.husband and my daughter and just couldn't cope with my son anymore.
He is 51 now and has been addicted for most of his adult life. Like most addicts, everything is everybody else's fault. He is a compulsive liar, I can't believe anything he tells me.
This week I received a phone call, telling me he was in hospital and wanted desperately to see me.
He has had a massive heart attack.
The.Drs have told him he will be dead in 12 months if he doesn't stay off the meth. His girlfriend, a very nice person, not an addict, told me he has been clean for a few years, but the damage has been done.
I hope he can be as strong as you and make the rest of his life, however long ot short that may be something he can be proud of.
I sincerely hope there is a positive outcome for your son. Even though my addiction was alcohol, the parallels between any substance abuse is glaringly obvious. Denial, blame gaming, lying and cheating - even to the stage of being criminally negligent.

Luckily for me, the tide has turned to the extent that I am currently studying a Certificate IV in Alcohol and Other Drugs.
