Again, I'm sorry but I have NO ONE to help me. I've prayed and prayed and I don't know what to do. I will probably get ridiculed for this but I literally don't have a choice. I need advice . My son and only child is deeply into drugs and alcohol is on a fast downward spiral . I HAVE TO SAVE HIM. What can I do?

Drug use may result from sadness. Maybe try to wake him up and make him eat every day. And have some good food thrown in maybe like a treat or pick-me-up. They say chocolate and diet coke makes you feel good. Simple enjoyable tasks might also lead to a feeling of accomplishment. Talk therapy, even, between you and him. I am not very experienced with addiction, but these things might help the underlying causes.
He's VERY sad and depressed because his girlfriend of 3 years ( who played constant mind games with him) broke up with him. He's gotten into drugs and alcohol before for short periods of time and then got clean. This time is the worst by FAR. He's a danger to himself and to me. He goes for like 24 hours then sleeps for maybe 2 or 3 and then goes for another 24 to 48 hours and very little eating. Can't get him councilling because he is un'vaxxed' and he wouldn't go anyway.
Sometimes depression makes one lose appetite. I agree with the nutrition part though.
