I have also shared my son's story in this forum...first pills then heroin...yep, been going through this since 2011. He's been in rehab more than not over the last 5 years. Recently he had 14 months clean, then a relapse...back to rehab, now 6 months sober...it's a process, but we as a family never gave up. It's been exhausting! But he's very close I believe...ironically he's almost 24. It seems to be all coming together for him, has a good job and appears to be "done". Sadly we hardly ever get to see him, we're in CT and he's in FL, but he's in a community that supports him so I accept that. Almost weekly I read about multiple OD's in our area, "officials" are shocked, but this thing has been going on for years. Guess it takes kids dying to get action....it's sad.
