I'm still not well and Mom still stresses about me. Did you know the country of Columbia lest you have drugs for your own use. A judge said Drug consumption "generates in a person problems of addiction and<br />slavery that turn one into a sick, compulsive individual deserving of<br />therapeutic medical treatment instead of a punishment.<br /><br />Their ruling came in a case involving a man prosecuted for possession<br />of 1.3 grams (.04 ounces) of cocaine.

You are not alone. I do not know your who...Debby, <br /><br />You are not alone. I do not know your whole story, only this post I just read. But in June of 2006, my husband and I had to give our dear son an ultimatum: Get help or get out. He too was using oxycontin and marijuana, and who knows what else. We couldn't sit back and watch him destroy his life any longer. <br /><br />We asked him to go to Teen Challenge, but whether or not he did, we told him he had to leave our home. <br /><br />He did choose to go to TC, and there he found freedom from drug use. He is on staff for them now, and going to college. There is hope.<br /><br />We also have an older son, same scenario. He chose not to go for help, but now, ten years later, he has grown up. He is married and has three children. He is in church. <br /><br />Never give up! My husband and I started Glass House Ministries to reach out to other parents who are dealing with this heartache, and other heartaches.<br /><br />When you have time, drop by the blog and check it out. <br /><br />Meanwhile, know that we are praying for you and your son!<br />CheriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298890660755610835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-2533086241291983502009-09-11T00:04:42.998-07:002009-09-11T00:04:42.998-07:00Oh Debby,
Its going to be a big adjustment for you...Oh Debby,<br />Its going to be a big adjustment for you. Glad you are writing about it.<br /><br />I saw my son today...he was in "the cage" of the courtroom, in handcuffs, but SMILING a huge smile. We did sign language for "I love you" and he sent the baliff over to ask me if I'd come visit him tomorrow. Of course I said yes.<br /><br />I've been sleeping in his bed for the last week. I started doing it cause he has a firmer mattress and my back needed it. But I have to admit, I like it in there. I feel close to him surrounded by his stuff. <br /><br />Our boys will make it. I have faith in that.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.com
