Thank you and you also are a wonderful parent:) <br /><br />Barbara, where I live, they have to go to 2 closed meetings a week, 2 outside meetings a week and pass randsom drug tests. If they are first offenders, they can get 3 violations before having to do jail/prison time. You are a wonderful mom too! <br /><br />Lou, I know, I realized it even as I was writing it. I always seem to be justifying his actions. It has been the hardest thing I have ever had to experience, but I am progressing so that is good.<br /> <br />Thank you all for your posts, as usual it helps me:)The neverending battle of child's opiate addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138779247145438268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-18329134160301968622009-08-28T02:40:13.889-07:002009-08-28T02:40:13.889-07:00What makes me sad reading is that he is better..co...What makes me sad reading is that he is better..compared to what. We lower our standards about what is normal, right, or moral when addiction takes over our lives. It took me a long, long time to figure out I didn't have to sink down with it.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-15724767561738298322009-08-27T18:57:07.237-07:002009-08-27T18:57:07.237-07:00Oh, I love the new look!

Sue is right, you are a wonderful parent.<br /><br />I will never forget when my son nodded off while standing on the scale at the doctor's office - he was there to get suboxone, I guess it proved that he needed it?? He'll be on Prop 36 too when he gets out, probably next week. I don't know too much about it but I guess I will learn as we go.
