Interesting development (Addictions)

[Lorna]

hey questioner, i've been following this thread with interest

i don't have any experience of addiction, dependency perhaps by close friends and a family member, but not the addiction that peregrinus and monica describe

but having just finished reading michael newton's book i felt promoted to chip in a reminder that no matter what this kid is going through, he almost certainly chose to experience this before he incarnated. on his journey he will undoubtably learn much and there's a good chance his learning will be accelerated because of his difficult experiences. you can be a light shining in the darkness which may provide an opportunity for him to reassess and choose to continue on this path or to go another way - and perhaps he will encounter many such lights on his journey before he takes that alternative path away from drug use, if he ever does so.

the synchronicities you describe would certainly suggest that his encounter with you was significant, but you have no responsibility for his life, his circumstances, his choices and the outcome of his choices. it can be very challenging to be that lighthouse and yet to stay unattached to the outcome
