So, my name is Christopher Hall, I am 19 almost 20 years old. I have been addicted to drugs such as crystal meth and alcohol for the last 12 years. I started using with my mother.
I have been struggling to get clean for the last almost 5 years. I am homless and looking for a long term resiidential rehab. Something that will turn into some kind of transitional housing or something of that nature. I have barley been able to stay sober for the last 2 months but I have, however, I need more help than just an AA meeting every day. I need structure and security. I need a safe place to sleep every night and I need to be around other gay men who are in recovery.

Be glad your family has taken you away from him. Thank goodness. You can't imagine the hell you'd be going through if you were with him. Trust me I know. 10 years of off and on trying to help an addict. It has taken the best years of my life and all i have done is enable him. Your family has done the right thing. If he wants to change and be with you and his child then he will have to change. Word of advise. He can find help if he needs it. DON'T let him back until he's been completely clean, recovered, working and in a support group for at least 1 full year.

getting your life togetherReply to this Comment
Tim,
You are on the right track just by communicationg to others. Talk about your problems to someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. If it is not a counselor or therapist, then go to someone you know will really listen. Others can offer you advice and suggest ways to "feel better," but you will have to do the work. Be patient with yourself and realize that things will get better. But never stop communicating to someone who will listen. Others care and have been the same place in their lives, too. Remember always, though you may feel alone right now, you aren't really alone.

help for commentorsReply to this Comment
Is anyone actually monitoring this site. I see it is a general discussion board, but think if someone is asking for help, then there should be a moderator to help them. Anyone?

Seems that if you aren't a millionair or homeless and s###ing on yourself you have to wait at least 2 months here in texas to get into a rehab by state funding....its a shame. GL to you all from a fellow addict.

Hi im touched by your out reach, i must say that help is here if you try to get it. I think that your mom needs a rehab that will focus on her drug problems as well as her mental health. I know its not easy i know first hand i had a mother growing up that used and also had mental health problems, its really hard on you to deal with it all. sometimes you wanna give up but happiness is out there you just have to try harder. Mapel leaf frams is a great place to start check it out! Good luck
