Is there any Miracles out there???

Im finally getting away.  Need this break!  Have not been to the cabin for nearly a month.  It will be a 1 day stay but hey... Ill take what I can get!

Have alot of thinking to do.  Need to approach my son and say something that makes things change.  He is still doing what it takes to get into the rehab but they still do not have any openings.  State told them to cut back on the number of beds.... Go ahead and help people but you cant help that many!  

As feared... waiting a month has grown too long.  Calling in every weekday and checking in has proven unfruitful, in the eyes of an addict, and well.... I guess he feels he would be better off just going to work and making some money... Of course, we know where that money goes.... He is headed back down the wrong path again... I must draw a line. 

So Im going to the cabin and do a little thinking.  I want to be smart and want to really think this thing out.  I am wanting the best for my son.  Something needs to change and as a parent... I must say something very wise. 

I know he is going to reject what I have to say.  I know he feels that he has all of the answers.  However whatever it is that I manage to say needs to hit home... whether right away or at a critical moment down the road.  In anycase I hope that they will be powerful words that will help him in the end.

I dont know how this will turn out.  I do know that I need to turn away soon if he doesnt start doing something different.  He needs to go to meetings while he waits or check into another rehab... I dont know... maybe he will end back up on the streets again. 

I do know that I must do something different.  He has started to get worse again.  I know... well no I dont, but recovered addicts tell me it is real hard.  I dont need to make excuses for him... and I dont want to drive him to using again.... but I need to take another step ina tough direction and make him either own up to his actions... or put him in a situation where he will either grow up and own up or... the alternative. 

     Im off to the cabin to think.... and hoping that....

There might be a miracle, somewhere, out there, .... for him!
