Good morning VN,
Took me a while to get to the point where I could share this.

My 18 year old son has now been in drug rehab for 2 weeks. He started vaping, then graduated to vapes with THC. 4 days before my birthday, he fell down our stairs because he was too stoned. He was unable to even be coherent. Scared me to death. Took him to the nearest ER, he was okay once he cleared. Was stoned again on my birthday. Then swore to his counselor and myself that he was done (having a drug buy already set up for that same day.)
He agreed that he had a problem when I did a urine drug screen and it came back positive for nicotine, THC, Benzodiazepines, Tramadol, and Fentanyl. I did believe him when he said that he was only vaping. He realized that the vapes were being juiced by the dealers with stronger stuff.

He will hopefully come home a week from tomorrow. I am praying that he will understand how dangerous his activities were and that addiction is a lifelong issue.

If I could ask for prayers for his safe return and future, I would greatly appreciate it.

My children are my world, I think that he agreed to go to rehab because I told him that he was literally killing me. He could see the truth of that in my eyes.

Thank you very much VolNation.

God bless you . I have a brother who is a lifer on drugs. I wouldn't wish that on any family.
Praying God gets a hold of that young man.

I’m so sorry. Praying he gets help he needs. My cousin was like this at this age, but worse, cigarettes were a gateway to some pretty horrendous things. Ten years later he is married, two children, fervent Christ follower, and Executive Director of renewed life ministries. As scripture says... With God... anything! I hope his journey to recovery is much shorter than my cousin. He already seems like he’s understanding that he’s not just hurting himself. Prayers, friend.

Now that he's starting I just got nervous for the kid. I hope he doesn't have a Peterman in the swamp performance today.

I was thinking about this and the difference for me is I still had excitement then. I was still excited about the team and the season then, now not so much.

Really didn’t want to have any money on this game but MGM offering +24.5 as its lions boost. Figured wth let’s roll freshman! Lol that’s a big number even when expecting to easily lose when we like to run the ball and play keep away.

I think they had split time prior to Florida game, then Ainge played most or all of FL game. My son’s first game was 2004 Vols vs UNLV with Schaefer and Ainge. He was 8 years old
Schaefer played versus FL

I can’t help but think this was our year to really take a step forward. We had the base of a really good recruiting class and the middle part of the SEC is as soft as it’s ever been. These are just my thoughts watching A&M and Auburn.

You rarely get a second chance at this.
