I think you did the right thing, too. It is tough, but you did what you had to do to try to save your son.

You showed great courage here Gary.

To risk his love for his life may not seem like a reasonable exchange for anyone outside the world of addictions,,but it is a choice put forth by most addicts in the vortex.

We can litterally love an addict to death by enabeling their behaviors.

You set a boundary and that may simply save his life.

I will pray for both of you...you did good.
