I too will be in prayer for your son.

I think drug addiction and even co-dependency which I view as another type of addiction can be a way of escaping loneliness.

For a long time I have wanted to write a book about loneliness so I've researched it and given it a lot of thought. The problem is, I want to co-write with a psychiatrist, a physiologist and a theologian. I want to look at loneliness, not only as a human condition, but at the physiology and theology of it.

I have a couple of friends in those professions, but they seem to be more bewildered by the subject of loneliness than I am and everyone seems so fearful of it so I guess I'll just pray and wait.

One of the benefits of this site seems to be the way it addresses loneliness.
