I am a meth addict and I hate it everyday of my life. I am clean now but it's only been because of circumstantial reasons that I got clean and it will take the same for him. There's nothing you can say or do to stop him. You will only adjitate him and He will want to use even MORE. Eventually he will get in trouble and maybe get probation where they make him drop ua's randomly. That's how I got clean. I wish I never would of started. I wish there were other alternatives. You can try an intervention but he has to want to quit and chances are... he doesn't. If you tell him how you feel it will make an impact. I mean I know I didn't enjoy getting high knowing how wrong it was and how much it hurt my family. One things for sure you can't get high if you don't have money so if you give him cash...STOP! don't give him a cent. Tell him how much it hurts his children. Ask him to consider going to treatment and then step back while he contemplates it give him a week and then ask him again. Meth charges are always steep and tough too! remind him that he could go to jail or prison if he doesn't stop. Suggest he go to an NA meeting where there will be lots of people just like him that he can relate to.don't give up on him and try to get him into the dentist and doc for a check up in the mean time. I'm sorry it's the way it is but I'm sure he hates it too! I hate to tell you this, but I don’t think there’s anything you can do. I am a meth addict and I hate it everyday of my life.

If you can't take it anymore, call the authorities. You can't manage this problem any more. Plus, he shouldn't be around the kids in his condition. Bless your heart, I'm sorry you're going through this. My prayers go out to you and your family. I agree w/ Phoenix; he needs to be arrested and rehabilitated.

We met in Florida and he is from a wealthy family...his mom lived in Florida and that was to get him off meth...it wasn't available in South Florida..like western cities like LA. Anyway I moved with him to Finland and thats when I saw him change into a monster from the kindly peaceful man I married. I don't want to sell you a pipe dream. The only way I have seen a possible recovery as this drug is so extremely addictive is a lengthy at least a year in prison. It gives their brain a chance to recover. Consider moving to a state where Meth has not a phenomen drug yet...sadly there are few left. Best Wishes and Good Luck... Wasalaam Salaam Alaykum,

If he gets all frustrated, and ignores you, tell him where do you think your life is going. Don't raise your voice, and for sure seek professional help. Or call a meths addict hot-line - 1.800.480.5965 - you need to have your son seek help, or you won't have one, his lifestyle will kill him. I am sure it would make you feel terrible to leave his kids, and that is where he knows you will keep caring for them, and that you won't leave. You could call child services, and take the kids with you and leave him, but that would also make you feel bad. Try not to threaten him, since he knows you will stay with him, for his kids. But you need to talk to him, get professional help, and you need to ask him, what is going to happen to his life. You need to make him realize that he will die. Bring up his kids in the conversation.

Has he been in treatment? That's the first step and I know he most likely refuses help. You don't say how old your son is. Since he probably refuses help, then all you can do is take care yourself and those children. Please contact Al-Anon immediately. Call them on the phone. Go to meetings. Get support to help you get through this. They will help you learn how to deal with it, but you have a lot of hard work ahead of you (emotionally). If you can afford other help, that's great! Al-Anon has no cost except to rid you of the misery.. Set yourself free of your son. He's made his choices and now you have to make your choices. You have to become very educated. It's your main weapon to fight this. I pray for you and your son and grandchildren. I truly hope you find the strength you need to get through this and help those children to grow up strong and clear-headed. My heart goes out to you and your grandchildren. Has he been in treatment?

I know how hard it is. I myself am a recovering addict (4.5 years clean) and I can tell you that the one part that still sorrows me to this day is the disappointment I triggered on my family. The 12 step programs work wonderfully for someone who wants to get better and thinks that they can. You may have to express some tough love and cut him off socially and financially.... it will hurt you and help him. You could also consider going to an Alanon meeting and getting some literature (it's for family members of addicts and alcoholics). I'm with you - I hope everything gets better for him and you and your family. But one thing is important to remember - you are not at fault for his choices... you have no control over him. You only have control over your own actions. I’m so sorry… I know how hard it is.
