We've pretty much taken control of her money.. no money, no drugs.
I honestly don't believe all answers are found through prayer. Four years ago, my 21 year old nephew committed suicide. He'd been on and off drugs and in trouble. The family prayed and prayed.. these are devout people. I will never believe you can igonore all your problems by praying. You have to be involved as much as you can.
My daughter appears to be recovering, but I worry everytime she's out of my sight and not at work and would feel a lot better if she got into a program. I'll keep working on that and am getting into a group myself to learn how.
All the best to you and your son. There are many people here who have given me good advice and hope. I hope this group can do the same for you.
