No words. Addiction will never make any sense. That's got to be the hardest part to deal with.
It sounds like you did all you could do.
I'm sorry. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Thank you all.
I hurt so badly, but I don't want it to go away. I want to feel the pain that I didn't know I could feel anymore.
I failed as I do in most things, but it was probably going to happen at some point. I couldn't protect him forever, at some point he would have been on his own.
It appears he took the first opportunity he had to use it. His mom was asleep on the couch. He took her car and the rest is history.
My GoPro was on the table with a note pointing to it =>gopro. It was always on his bow. I don't know why he took it off. The police took it, but I'm assuming I'll get it back someday.
Don't pray for me; I want the pain; I want to agonize. I never want it to stop. Pray for my wife please.

This news made me sick earlier today. I hate the hurt that addiction causes. I cannot imagine the grip it has on one. The pain is the only thing I have left of him. I was the only one they let see him in his room. He was on the floor with sleeve rolled up. I needed that boy as much as he needed me.

I'm very sorry for your loss Jon. Jon you did not fail Treydog, he failed himself. It is impossible for you yourself to overcome his addiction. You can lead one down the right road and give all you got in support, but in reality it all falls on their shoulders of getting and staying clean. This board is lucky to have you here. You don't realize how many post you have made here has given me and I'm sure others a huge lift in the right direction.

You did your best to help someone you cared for and loved dearly. That my friend is not a failure. It will hurt badly for some time, the pain may never go away but it will lessen with time. Your family will mourn and rightfully so, but remember and celebrate the good times. Stay strong, my deepest sympathies to you all.

If I can get up, I'll hunt with his bow in the morning. I need to be in the woods, and his bow will be with me. I hope to see a limping buck with Treydog's bolt sticking out of his hip. I'll whack him.

I dont want you to take this the wrong way, as I know how it will sound.
You didnt fail him. He failed you.
Stay strong

Thank you all for your prayers.
I slept maybe 1 hour, but something happened. I went to bed embracing the pain, but woke up in total peace. It's so very strange. I believe that it's best to put it in his words; it's a peace that passes all understanding.
I didn't pray asking, "Why?" I did pray for understanding. I think it's the greatest of gifts. While I do not understand, somehow I do not need to. I feel nothing but peace.
Please pray for my wife. There's nothing like the pain a mother feels from the loss of a child. We men can think we understand and can relate, but we really don't have a clue. I'm use to being clueless.
Thank you all again!
