Colton has been abusing his sleep medication and has overdosed twice in the last two weeks. I have no way to reach out to him and he'd just ignore me if I did. Pray that the Lord would send someone to reach out to him before it's too late.

Sorry to hear that.
I will pray now and hope he talks to a doctor who can help get him off that safely.



I just talked to the Lord about Colton. Sometimes I have trouble sleeping and take a natural OTC hormone called melatonin.
It's not dangerous like a medication, but has a proper dosage like any supplement.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. There's a lot of teenagers who are prescribed all kinds of meds these days. I was going to offer questions you could ask his Dr if that were the case. I hope that he is ok now.

Since we live in different areas, I can't visit him. You are certainly welcome to forward any of my posts that may be helpful. I would recommend one of the gospel videos. If you need help finding them, let me know, I will get one or more to you.

the problem is he's intentionally overdosing to get high. To numb his pain I suppose. From what I understand he's not suicidal but he could end up like Aaron Carter. God forbid.

"Make no mistake folks, I and many others have a heavy heart relating to this dilemma.
I can only pray to find refuge in our Lord and pray our loved ones find help.
Let us pray all involved shall by some miracle, become cleansed of this abomination.
I pray of God's awareness to be upon us all."
'Amen'
