Answer by Niss
i dont have a son with this problem but my aunt lost her son from a drug overdose, it is sad that the kids get mixed up in this stuff, it is such a waste of a good life.Be thankful your son is still alive and there is a chance you can get him back if he wakes up to what he is doing and i hope he does for your familys sake, you didnt mention how old he is, i am assuming he is a teen..my cousin was 28 when he died, just experimenting with cocaine from what i can gather and oneday just went too far 🙁 I hope things get better for you and perhaps someday your son will be able to come back home to live a normal (drug free) life with you.all the best.

I am a 16 yo high school junior that struggled immensely with alcoholism as a 15 year old, and associated with the crowd that had access to the hard stuff (liquid and substance) as a way to self-medicate for my raging moods. That’s all it ever was for me… a sort of “medication.” I don’t remember ever doing anything with any of the drugs that circulated around… I’d just get off with as much alcohol as I could and find a room to be alone.

Sorry that wasn’t much help… but I can tell you it likely wasn’t intentional- he had a void he felt he had to fill, and drugs seemed to fill it for him.
