The use of illegal drugs certainly is a reason for you risk losing custody, and it can also land you in jail. You need to immediately get legal counsel, and you should have gotten that before talking to DFCS, as you likely have already harmed your case. Stop using drugs, as a series of clean drug tests may help minimize the damage you have already done. Good luck.
Your "PS" really does not mean anything, given that in your post you admit to being a user of illegal drugs. It just means that you have not been caught yet.
