July 15, 2009

Nobody ever tells you what the withdrawal symptoms from Ecstasy are. This isn't any fun for my son or my family.

Tempers flare. He's very touchy right now. His hands shake and he doesn't want to eat or sleep. His girlfriend, Jasmine, is the best thing for him right now. Her patience and understanding are the rock that he sits on when all else is falling apart around him.

Luck seems to be on our side, because he's working his way through this with great will power and a little kick in the ass from the rest of us.

  1. Wow - that's a tough road for everybody. What made him decide to stop? Did you do an intervention? Is he getting counseling? Good luck, Frank! I wish you and your family well.

  2. Hang in there Frank. My boy is doing the "Rebel without a clue" bit too. You're not alone and you're not unique. Sorry but yes other people have gone through this. Try to contact NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and if you have to maybe a detox is required. I know they're hard suggestions but addiction is a hard fight, and it's done One Day At A Time.
