> My son abused weed, alcohol and ephedra and went into psychosis. He had to give it all up cold turkey, and missing weed is the hardest for him to deal with. After the pdoc got him stablized, he sent him to AA. It sounded useless to me, because alcohol wasnt his big problem, but it has turned out to be an excellent treatment, giving him info, support and coping methods. Whether its AA or NA, i would urge you to attend some meetings - you could find real help there. Best of luck and hang in there.
Thanks. I'm not big on AA, but I was considering persuing a secular alternative to it. There's also a support group for young adults in my area I used to go to that deals with addiction in part and I may stop by that some time as well. I think it would be good to get involved with more people who don't do drugs, and AA and the like is a good suggestion. Thanks again, and I hope things work out for your son!
