After 3 loooong grueling years, my Son, who will be turning 21 in December, has agreed to go to rehab. As some of my close friends know, 2 days before his 18th Birthday in '04, I had to ask my Son Corey to leave the house. He had become a full blown meth addict. Lieing, stealing, ditching school, not coming home. Being a single working Father of 2, it was impossible to protect his sister of 5 years younger. I had already done the intervention thing when he was in 8th grade. I Put him through a very expensive 90 rehab program twice.
Their Mother who is and has been a meth-head since before my Daughter was born ( Deanell is 15 now). I had also put her through rehab twice before I finally gave up and divorced her and took the kids (which took almost 2 years of court battles). She was absolutely no help, as a matter of fact, she did the sh!t with him leading up to the point I asked him to leave.
Well to make a very long and extremely difficult 3 year battle for his soul short. I did the tough love, watching him destroying his life. I greived his destruction, all the time caring for his Sister (who is a handfull but doing great as a Sophmore). The only condition I set on him returning home was, that he go through a free drug rehab called Teen Challenge. It's a 1 year Christian rehab program. Anyway, He called me last Thursday out of the blue asking me to take him there. I hadn't heard from him in almost 6 months. Well of course I agreed. They only induct on Tuesdays, IF they have room. Today is that day! I'm praying they have the room for him. Prior to today (actually the day of the phone call), I took him to the Police station to remand himself on several warrants. As per our court system, they just cited him out with a court date, AGAIN! This time though, it will work for him. Because instead of being able to just continue his old ways, he now wants to begin tratment until he goes infront of the Judge.
So if any of you that have stayed with this story, would kindly say a little prayer to give my Son the strength to kick this awfull addiction, his Sister and I would surely appreciate it.
Peace and Love
