I am a recovering addict and it is my goal to help others and let them know that they too can get clean and sober. I think it is important to get the message out there they we no longer have to use alcohol and drugs against our will we can recover and find a new way to live clean.

Hi please see my blog and help!
Hi Jen
I am afraid you are going to have to be more specific. I not exactly sure what you are looking for. If you give me some more information I will do my best to help.
I found a piece of folded up aluminum foil under my son’s mattress. In the foil was a blue cottony substance, sort of like cotton candy balled up. What could this be?
Hi Judy
I really could not say for sure if it was not shaped like a pill but it sounds like it could have been a pill crushed up.
Hi Art! I have been up for hours reading about heroin withdrawal and stumbled across one of your blogs and read for hours and noticed your last entry on that blog was February. I was very happy to find you somewhere else and that you are doing ok. Heroin has been a huge problem in my family and I have fallen victim to it the last 5 or 6 months. I was addicted to other pain meds before that for 2 years. I am 42 and I know better and have a 21 year old son addicted since he was 17 and still using daily. The reason I started using to begin with was because of the constant worry of finding him dead and wasnt strong enough to battle the daily stress of that haunting thought. Thankyou for what you are doing. My kpin prescription is going to be refilled on the 24th and that is the day I am quitting for good. I have been tapering for weeks and my son called me yesterday and said he had register for a bed to detox. Tears have been streaming down my face for hours just all the pain this drug has caused my family and I have two younger children who are wondering why I am in the bathroom alot who are wonderful, well- behaved kids and don’t deserve this. Opiate addiction is very crippling but I know I can kick this. I’m ready! Just wanted to get this off my chest as very few people know about my addiction. Thanks Art!
Hi Jenna
I am glad you found this site and I am really extremely glad that you and your son have made the decision to stop using. I know you can do it so just hang in there and everything will be ok.
Good luck
My son has a desire to do LSD, and we just recently found out he has acted on this. He is 17, and says he will stop until he turns 18 but then he will start again, becuase he says we wants to and it makes him feel good. We have put him in drug counseling both individual and group, but he says nothing has changed his mind. He is a extreamly smart kid, good grades, job, activities… so I was surprised I even saw the red flags… Do you think Hypnotism will help him give up this desire?? We are running out of time where we actually have “control” over him.
We are at odds about upcoming college too. I say, drugs, we no pay. Husband says, if we don’t, he won’t go, live with drug buddies and that will ruin his life more. Your thoughts on that?
Hi Ann
Thanks for sharing. I am not sure about the Hypnotism it may give him the desire but he would have to be willing for anything to happen. In other words if he is doing it for you or feels forced its not going to work. Who knows if he says he will stop until he is 18 by then a lot can happen and he may change his mind.
There is not a whole lot you can do but pray he wakes up and does the right thing because at that age I am sorry to say he is going to do exactly as he pleases. I have to say that when you speak of the control you have over him that’s an illusion after all he is 17.
All you can do is let him know he is loved and think he is making bad decisions and try to point him in the right direction.
Good luck
