My son

[oxyfree]

This story brought tears to my eyes... I remember how good my life was when I was in recovery. I am trying once again to kick the drug habit (opiates) - Day 4 and I feel grateful for having come this far already. I am so hopeful for the future. I am going to stay strong, focused and connected. I know I have a hard road ahead of me but I've got lots of support.

I pray for you and your sons and wish you all the best in your recovery.

Have a son of my own, who has his own addiction. I had to get clean and sober for me. Even though I have been in recovery for several 24 hours, he chooses to use, even though he has been in treatment 5 times.

I still work the program, one day at a time. The 12 Steps are a way of life. They are applicable to all areas of my life.

LookingOut,

Thank you! You won't belive, I'm sending e-mails to him) Every month! Share with doctors how our things are going and tons of"thank you" words). Vasilenko Vitaliy Ivanovich, you are an incredible person!

[Jane]

MajestyJo, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you and your son will win this battle of your lifes. I'll pray for you and your loved son that it will be the last time when he gets such kind of treatment.
Maybe you should try another kind of treatment?

oxyfree,

Thank you for your words. And Thank you for your story. Stay strong! Remember, everyone who knows you, and even who doesn't ( me, for example))) belive in you. It is such a beautiful time to enjoy your life! Spring is a new time for the new life. Even here, on this greate forum, you will get tons of support and understanding. And every story is a unique expirience of life.

What about my son?))

As I said before, spring is the time for the new life. It is true: he has a gf) ( I'm typing this and feel like this ))) bicycle is a great therapy! 2 weeks ago we had had a great trip to our park. Had a nice time. I will remember it for the rest of my life. Activity is a best therapy after recovery centers )

I want to say, that everything is possible, even here in Ukraine. All what you need to do it is belive in yourself. Magic is on your way, just shake your hands with it!

First, I want to say, "Praise God!," for your son being clean and sober! Amen!

I am so happy you are happy. I'm glad that you also have a good relationship with his doctor. My friend when I still lived in California had a lot of medical issues, and she would bring cards and little gifts to her doctors and would witness to them if they did not know Jesus. She was one of those evangelists that never let an opportunity be missed!


BUT NOW, you are in UKRAINE! Oh my, will pray that you are safe and will pray for peace.

Thanks so much for checking in. It is great to hear the praises!

Thank you for sharing and giving us an update. My aunt went to Leningrad several years ago and went to the great wall of China. She never married, saved her money and travelled all over the world.

It was something I always wanted to do, yet my addiction stood between me and my wants. In today, thanks to the internet, I can get a view of this big world and I don't have to remain ignorant. I know that my God looks after me, here in Ontario Canada, and I know that anywhere I go, He is with me.

Continued prayers and blessings to you and yours.

LookingOut,

Thank you! I know you are afraid of news in Ukraine, but it is not a full true. Zaporozhye is safe (for this moment). I don't feel any separatists mood here.

It is so popular here :" Stay calm and Love Ukraine" ))) SO I'm doing IT!

I'm staying calm and love my country, but Now I'm concentrated on my family, my lovely boy...it seems like he got second birth. I'm watching how he is acting ( like I watched his first steps), how he is smiling, talking to me. I'm happy right here and right now.

[Jane]

Jo, it is a great motivation! I hope some day your dreams come true. I DO belive in you!

Kisses and hugs.

[MajestyJo]

Are you having spring in the Ukraine. I love how the internet makes the world a small place, and my God's Love reaches around the World.

Glad that the program is available around the world. I was told, if there is no meeting near, start one. It will keep you sober. When we takes the Steps, we can overcome issues, and walk in the fellowship of the spirit.

The program did not work for my son, because he was not willing to work for it. He went into detox and recovery home many times and is talking about going again. I can not do it for him and he has to want to want recovery. All I can do is pray.

[Denzov]

Thank you for your wonderful story Jane. Good to know that one soul had been back to the great world. Happy to know that he gets lots of family love, it is really nice to hear that some one become stronger and found peace in his thoughts.

Keep posting and thanks alot again.

MajestyJo, I understand you. It is necessary for your son to have sincere desire to be healed. If he doesn't want, all what you would do will be in vain.

I'm sorry for your son, I hope he will find the right way of his life.

[MajestyJo]

Thank you both for sharing. My son has been talking detox for several days. He went out and used yesterday and the day before, he just had to have something to detox from.

Please keep him in your prayers. Me too, it is difficult watching him go through this.

[Denzov]

Jo, I'm praying for your son. I do belive in your son. Hugs for you.
