Well, it is Saturday, a lovely day outside. All is quiet here today, amen. For those of you that have just joined
this blog, my young adult son, Jack, is a heroin addict. He is up against three court dates, this upcoming
Tuesday is one of the dates, and it just so happens to be his birthday today. He is humble today.
He appears to be clean. A few years back Jack was a very heavy heroin user and to come off of it
he had to go through severe detox symptoms. As we go on in the blog you will get more details
on what that was like..so those of you who are contemplating using..>DON"T, it's a living hell.
Now, he is a random user, so when he comes off of it he does not suffer the severe detox like he use to.
But don't get me wrong here...even though he is a random user, it is still destroying his life. As
he has THREE court dates (two for shoplifting and one for getting caught in a public restroom with
a syringe and spoon, they arrested him public nuisance on that one)
Anyways, we have no idea what will happen this Tuesday in court. He may get a jail sentence, he
may not, he is taking one day at a time, one court date at a time. For today,we are having a steak dinner and cake for Jack's birthday. Jack has applied to the Salvation Army 6 mos rehab program and
wrote a letter to the Public Defenders office and also the local Judges chambers to ask
if they would suspend his court dates until he completed the 6 mos rehab program. No word
back from any of them. He also applied as a volunteer to the local animal shelter, no reply back
from them either. So, he is still in waiting limbo, a very unsettling and fearful spot he put himself
in. He is also attending two AA meetings, one a MENS AA meeting and one a regular AA meeting.
If he had only done all this a couple months ago before his arrests..what a shame!
Well, too nice of a day to be here writing at a PC. Tomorrow I will blog the history of our
addicted family and you will see the trial and tribulations of generations of addictions and
the unnecessary hardships the addictions have caused.

- Thought for the day: Change:
- It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
