I'm going...Thank you so much for your comment.. I'm going through a life altering, destructive situation with my significant other.. and i believe it is due to drug use of some sort.. he has had a drinking problem for quite some time and i feel like that in itself is so destructive, & a very good way to take the focus off any other problems he has been dealing with, bringing the outcome of this drug use into our home, & completely and entirely shutting me out on what's been going on in his life, other than what & how much I thought I already knew.. but at this moment, i know nothing..Thankfully, due to these sporadic, fits of rage and harmful events, he has taken out of our home and is not allowed to contact or try to come in contact with myself or our 2 year old son.. But, all this time i thought it was just the alcohol, which to me, seems worse enough in itself.. but no, it's gone further than that, WAY further as you can see tell.. & i still want to try to get him help. I want him to still have a chance to live as the person I married once more..& most importantly be the father to our child that our son deserves.<br />So if anyone would like to respond with any advice, signs i should have been looking for, etc.. because I know nothing about drug use in this sense whatsoever. Idk if you can see my email or not, but idk if I'll be able to get the notifications from here or not.. so, if anyone cares to offer some help and shed some light on this awful situation my son and i are in, due to what I think has been caused by drug us of some sort (& not just any drug, a hard drug, such as herion, meth, etc.) Please contact me at kysuetravers92@gmail.com <br />Thank you all so much already for your post, comments and tips. It's been an amazing help<br />-Kyra T.The Golden Pieces by: Ky.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784955528187885447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444301668598338886.post-77659580126466048652018-11-28T00:00:36.336-08:002018-11-28T00:00:36.336-08:00I'm finding balls of aluminum foil, straws, sp...I'm finding balls of aluminum foil, straws, spoons, lids off bottles, him straying up days at a time. Stuff disappearing. He gets angry, yells at me. To stop accusing him. My house stays in a mess. I stop cleaning. He destroyed everything and blames it on everyone else. My house and yard used to be so clean. After we were married 2 years ago. You would think homeless people live on my property.he's causing me.but I work 2 full time jobs. I need advice what to do. Can I take aluminum foil to be tested without being arrested.

She's been on methadone and abused it, got high while on it, she's been in jail so Many times I've lost count. This time while in jail her judge sent her to a 30 day treatment facility. So she's been eating, drinking, sleeping, breathing AA for three weeks. She looks better than she has in years, she is actually reading her big book, and talking about loving being sober, but right now she's in the hospital or treatment facility. My prayer is that she will do the work and keep up the fight once she is back in the real world. I know AA has saved many lives. I'm praying it will save hers. Like I said she's been an addict since she was 17, she is 30 now. I'm praying that rehab and AA will give her 30 more years of good,sober life. Praying for miracles.

My daughter (only child 33yrs old) has just started snorting heroin. She has 5 children (ages 18mo - 11yrs) and I am beside myself with worry. In 90 days she has gotten 2 DUI's and one of them she had a neighbors child in the car with her so she was also charged with child endangerment. She IS going to jail. I can't take care of her children due to my health issues, and even if I could, I dont have room for 5 children in my small house. So they will go to foster care. I am so sad, embarrassed, and worried. Mostly for the kids at this point. She has lied and lied and lied to the point no one believes her. The rest of the family doesn't want anything to do with her and at this point, I dont either. We live in a very small town (less than 500) and the looks I get, the whispers and stares, they're becoming intolerable. She gave away her home. Yes, gave it away. She owned it outright, no mortgage, and just signed it over to 'a friend'. She has moved to another town, and it seems as if since the move she's getting worse. <br />Thoughts? Advice? How do I let these kids know that I havent abandoned them? I feel so helpless and alone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444301668598338886.post-50060353780670114852015-04-30T13:11:50.318-07:002015-04-30T13:11:50.318-07:00I agree that it is so important to know the signs ...I agree that it is so important to know the signs and what you are dealing with. This can really help prevent future addictions and open the doorway to what is happening. Personally, I've been concerned with my own daughter and am not sure if she has been on drugs before. However, I'll have to keep these warning signs in mind so I am able to know whether she is or not.

I started about 2 years ago Due to quadding accident when I was13, riding as a passenger w/a friend.going home before dark,we took a sharp turn, and flipped the quad, I was thrown onto a tree stump sticking in mylower back when the quad flipped on me& had me pinned over an hour. I shifted all the vertabraes in the lower half of my spine, pinching 4 sciatic nerves. Dr. Said something eazy like lifting a box wrong and be paralyzed.Tried pain pills,Both made me extremely sick, couldn't do anything,and puke in my sleep. Heard how Heroin is =morphine,helped w/pain.Used safely&smart you will be productive&aware surroundings.I tried it, and was more productive @work,active& to finally play with my lil brother and nieces cuz I'm not in pain.Not saying that makes H ok& people should do it, but ppl need 2stop B-ing closed minded and judgemental.because not all H users do it 2 bcome a junkie&high.Situations like mine, I use 2live a somewhat normal, happier,painfree life.

I believe that most people experiment with alcohol or pot, and one or both wakes up the Addiction. Thanks to big Pharma some folks start there by accident. No matter how they get there, they don't want to be there. Try to remember that inside this beast is your child, and there is no right or wrong way. There are a lot of sayings, but truly it's God's will what will happen. I guess I get by trying not to enable, but always letting my son know he is loved, and can come for help anytime. They have to be ready, and we can't make them ready. It's a nightmare, praying for us all. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
