It has just been a little over 1 yr. since our son died. He had been a user for 4yrs. He tried everything and anything that his drug buddies would sell him. I had seen David and Nic on the Oprah show and read the book the next day, I tried to get my husband to read it but wouldn't. He was put in jail by girlfriends father for trespassing on his property that he knew of but didn't care. After staying in jail for 33 days he made a promise he would try rehab again (this would have been his 4th try), I drove him there the next day he walked in and walked out. He pleaded with his father and I that he knew all the steps, we kinda agreed since he had been to 3 other rehabs(he was 19 we couldn't make him stay) That nite he went out with this kid we never met but our son told us he was going to help him get a job, couldn't have been a nicer kid clean cut and polite(unlike his other loser friends). He came back about two hrs. later and said he got a job, he was so proud. We went to bed that nite and next morning woke up to find he had been up all nite fighting with his girlfriend and that she had cheated on him when he was in jail. He asked for some money for mcdonalds and we left for work. We got home around 3 and he had overdosed on heroin, they said he probably had a heart attack because of no use for over a month. We found 3 empty baggies and three more not touched. I thought the kid that picked him up was going to be a good friend to my son, later to find out he deals but doesn't touch the stuff. My husband and I had no idea he was using heroin because he has been a different person for the last four yrs. He had two older brothers and one younger and let me tell you they hated him, because of what he was doing to the family. I just shredded all his paper work on the eve of his first yr. of his death, I counted 12 arrest. When in jail for those 33 days my husband and I were on the same page for the first time about not getting him out, but later to find out he would call my husband. I sent 3 books while he was there Beautiful Boy, Tweek and auto biography by Josh Hamilton (Rangers baseball player)he said he read of three and even talked about them to me when he came out the last two days on earth, he said those books changed his life and he was going change. The night before the devil sent one of his workers one more time to pick up my son, and I believe God said to my son its time to go and took him the next afternoon. The only memories I hold is the less than 48 hrs. he was out telling us how much family meant and how much he loved us (which I had not heard in 4 yrs.
