Drug-induced hypertension, the more that person is going to go the opposite way.  This is the truth of things, I don't want to sound like I am against the idea, because I am not.  There is just no way to stop someone who is active in their addictionDrug abuse and dependence, theyhave to mke their own minds up themselves, and that is really all there is to it!!  GOOD LUCK!!!!



KARA

kara,  you sound like you are totally disagreeing with my opinion.  that is ok, everyone has an opinion, and for that matter, what do i know, i'm an addict to.  but, i think i would die if people who i respect and those who respect me found out that i was doing this...  what is there to lose..  if the kid threatens the father into quitting, it may work... who knows.  what do you have to lose.  well, possibly a father?  you probably have more experience in these matters than me, because you attend meetings. i am presently looking for a meeting near me that i can attend.  well, i hope all goes well with michelle.

Thank you both for responding.  I have spoken about this in lengthy conversations with my boyfriend and I let him read what both of you have to say.  He decided that he is ready to take the risk before his situation gets worse.  He is now just waiting for the right time (within the next couple days, he hopes).  Thank you for your time.  I will let you know how things turn out.



Michelle

michelle,

Hi!  I hope and pray that everything goes well, hopefully it will!!  I didn't mean to sound like I was totally against the idea of your boyfriend confronting his father, because I'm not.  All I wanted you to know is that I've been there, and what happened in my situation.  But not every parent is the same.  I know it is heartbreaking, and more than just that its an unexplainable feeling when you find out one of your parents are on drugsChemical dependence - resources

everyone answering or participating seemed young.  My life it seems has been dealing with a close loved one with a cocaineDrug abuse addictionDrug abuse and dependence that grows bigger by the week.  It has caused him to be arrested for unforseen pushing and shoving when coming down from a week-end of cocaineDrug abuse use.  His paranoia is indescribable and every day I came home to someone different.   It finally tore apart our home and destryed the respect I had for him.  Now I am trying to recover from the nightmare of being the spouse of some one who was so loving and kind that now spends all his time and money on his addictionDrug abuse and dependence and is in total misery.  My loses equal his even though they differ in ways.  My distress is realizing you can't love him better, you can't cry him better and you can't beg him to be better.  If there is anyone livingAdvanced care directives this kind of nightmare, you know how much dispair this can cause and I often wonder when is it time to say this is enough.  I am not currently livingAdvanced care directives with this person but we are still joined and I still wish every day for his recoveryRecovery position - series.  The hopelessness always lingers.

Hey!!  I know exactly how you are feeling right now!!!  I have been clean and sober for 3 years and 12 days now, and 4 months after my husband and I decided to get clean, he started using again!!!  He now has 2 years clean, thank the lord!  But I absolutely hated for him to be high, it literally tore me apart!!!  I could never explain to you in any words, how it made me feel to see the man that I was so deeply in love with, and that I had chosen to be my partner in life, be high on the damn ****!!!  He went backBack pain - low
Back strain treatment to prison for 6 months, and he has been clean and sober ever since then!!!  I give all the credit to the lord up above, now I am not a religous nutt, not that their is anything wrong with that, but I will say this, I prayed and prayed and prayed and had faith in the lord, and I tell you what my husband and I are livingAdvanced care directives proof that prayers are answered!!!  All I can say to you is have faith, and pray to your god, whenever you get the chance, 50 times a day would be the best.  DrugChemical dependence - resources
