Dear GUEST: Heroin is one of the 'deadliest' drugs on Earth. Period. A few others cause such a severe addiction (methamphetamine for one), but not too many. I hope the methadone program works for your son. No one should have to suffer from any addiction. I hope you have found some support in a program, too. I'm thinking of organizations that are set up much like Alcoholics Anonymous' sister program called AlAnon. There, the other victims get some support. Some storms are easier to weather if you have company. If I can be of help, please 'message' me. I will not reveal your name or anything like that. I know you may not wish to take that step, but please know that the door's open to you.
