I just dropped in here to see if Declan was around cuz I had talked with him about my 22 yr old son before, then I saw your posts.
My heart goes out to you both. I hope you're both SO proud of yourselves!!!!! I applaud your hard work at doing what you know is best for you - or NOT doing what you know is worst for you!!
My son has used chemical drugs since about 14 yrs old. Was heavily into cocaine & E for months & finally he & GF went from Ontario to British Columbia (a 'geographic cure') to shift their lives. They did not badly as far as hard drugs go. Got jobs finally (had been on the street when first out there). Then my son started hearing voices saying they would hurt him & he should hurt himself bigtime & his GF was going to be hurt etc. I posted about it on Social board.
Last nite he asked for help getting hospitalized to be safe. I am so thankful he's finally safe (hadn't been since before Christmas - I found out how bad things were day after Christmas).
He's talking about coming back to Ontairo at the end of Jan & going into rehab. He really needs it - not just a few weeks - MONTHS.
Anyway, I applaud you both & pray that he'll be sober & striving to keep a sober life some day.
hugs to you both Kath
