Over the last month, I picked him up from the street and pretty much forced him into detox, had to get his truck back from some prostitute, drew up a power of attorney so he has no access to anything and had to lock down his house (which he rents and is behind in the rent). On the 3 occasions I went to his house, he lives in a really rough part of Memphis, I had 2 armed men with me and the neighbor sitting on his porch with an assault rifle.
While there, I had 3 thugs coming up to me demanding money. Words were exchanged back and forth andI told them that I didn't owe them shit and if they ever saw my ex again they can take it up with him. Under threat of calling the police, they finally left. I'm leaving out many things that have happened, because some of it is so unbelievable I don't even believe it myself.
At the moment he is out of detox and living in a sober living house, clean for 3 weeks while doing 6 weeks of out patient therapy. The worst part is he thinks that crack is going to be easy to kick. From everything that I have read/heard, crack is very hard to stay away from.
He has been on and off drugs most of his life and for my sons sake, I hope he can stay clean but I don't have faith.
For all of you guys fighting to stay clean, keep up the good work and take it a day at a time.
