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.

Doc, I’d highly recommend “Discovery Place” in Dickson, TN. My little brother and my wife’s cousin came back from hard drugs to being the clean, solid, hard working dudes everyone thought they’d be. It’s run by a great bunch of dudes who’ve also “been there, done that.”

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.

A lot of opportunities to turn the corner as a program have been totally blown the last 15 years or so.

Fentanyl and Benzos, yikes
Sorry to read that, I hope all goes well.
Don’t let him fool you though, with that many substances in his blood stream he most likely sought after more than THC

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

Sorry to hear all of that. Addiction medicine is a greatly developing field with lots of research pouring in and has affected large swaths of the population. I wish the best for you and your son.

I dreamt last night we were down 31-10 at halftime. We don’t even beat the Gators in my dreams.

2010ish... I dreamt about the Oregon-Tennessee game in Knoxville. The dream game was played in a flood with a tornado passing over the stadium, game kept going. We were winning.

Real Game was delayed due to lightning. That freaked me out. We were playing them very tough. Even lead them for a good bit... after the lightning delay, they ran us off the field.
