HI and welcome to the forum....im so sorry to here about you son heroin is tuff to stay off
I am an addict but im also the father of a daughter that was addicted to methamphetamine and crack cocaine so I know just how helpless it feel to be a parent and not know if you child is dead or alive my daughter hit the streets at 13 and lived more on the streets or in jail then at home she would be gone for months at a time it put our whole family threw he!1
do you know where your son is at?? and is he staying in touch with you ??
if you just need someone to talk to I will be up for a wile just write back
theres not much you can do if he's notr ready to stop and once he does
he's going to need N/A meetings to keep him going down the right path addiction just dosent go away because you detox it needs to be treated for the rest of your life
I wish you all the luck in the world and will also say a prayer for you and your family
please write back with a little more detal of whats going on......Gnarly

I am sorry to hear your son has relapsed.  Does he live with you?  Do you provide financial support for him?
