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?

I know a kid aged mid-20s who drinks beer a couple of times a week if meeting friends in the pub, but not at home. He sometimes does weed too. He seems fine to me and has steady job. Thing is though I know that his mum is worried about him and she thinks he is going off the rails. Not sure but I think she herself is teetotal actually so I guess she is sensitive to this sort of thing.
So I don't know you and I'm not saying anything, but maybe take a step back and take a hard look to make sure your son really does need saving from something. Sadly if he really does I don't think many parents have had a great outcome from trying to help in that situation.
If he was having the occasional beer and smoking some weed, I wouldn't be happy but I wouldn't be all that worried either. I'm talking vodka and meth. No sleep for days . been going on a month. He's gone from 160 pounds to 130. He's lost his job and is endangering his life and endangered mine a few days ago.
You're a saint for that. I am concerned about the support gang mom mentions. Meth heads have absolutely no compunction about taking anything. Beyond that I have no magic bullet to suggest, only that staying alive long enough eventually seems to work.
