Ok so my oldest son is 25 now and doing great hes in the US Army, working towards becoming a paratrooper and ultimately a Green baret. When he was 15 he made friends with a really great group of boys. My son is in Washington State with his wife and their baby. So anyways one of the boys tht he became like brothers with unfortunately ended up going down a different path and started using roxy codone at the age of 16. I haven't heard nothing about him or talked to him in almost 10 years. Last i heard he moved to North Mississippi around the time i had last seen him. Well the other day he messaged me asking for my advice on how he could get clean off of fentanyl. It broke my heart hearing tht hed been addicted to haroine since he left Florida. He has seen me post over the last 10 months about going to rehab and getting sober and how beautiful my life has become since. He told me tht he has tried to get clean just in the last year 15 20 times. He says he gets to day 4 or 5 and gets so sick tht he caves and goes to get something to ease the withdrawal symptoms. Says hes only getting enough to ease the pain and thts it. Hes only 25 yo i have been trying to give him hope but honestly i thing he has lost all hope. It scares me tht he admitted to getting stuff this morning hes an extremely smart and talented kid. He told me tht they dont have methodone clinics where hes at or the recourses tht i have down here. He wants to live and be sober but hes stuck. My question is this.... Does anyone on here live in North Mississippi and do u know of anything tht he can do to find a rehab or somewhere tht will help him? Pls he dont have money or a job no family orher then my son and I. Im in a sober house and my son being military cant take the chance of him moving in base with him his wife and his baby

Have him call 988 crisis line. I’m glad he’s reaching out for help. Remember we must look out for our own sobriety first.
