My son is 26 years old and an alcoholic and drug user. Years ago he was part of a gang that sold drugs and he was lucky enough to get out of it. 5 years ago he went to teen challenge to straighten out his life but has fallen back into old routines and habits despite living here at home with me and my husband and other children. We have been doing everything we can to get him help. This past week has found him drinking in huge quantities and drug using again, which he has many times over the last year. He came home today to shower after being away for 5 days with no communication and now has left again and has told my brother that he feels he has no choice but to go back to the gang life selling drugs. He's even use the word suicide tonight. I'm so afraid for him and I don't know what to do. He comes from a christian background with a huge supportive family. We've done everything we can and I'm willing to do more but I have 3 other children who are 18,14 and 10 who are also going through this with me and its hurting them too and in ways I probably don't see. I'm in desperate need of prayers for him and for my family.
Please pray that god will protect my son Brandon tonight from harm and pray that he will get the help he so desperately needs. God bless you all.
