Hiya deb, I’m struggling with a cocaine addiction, I’m 2 weeks clean today. You probably know this anyway, but alcohol is the main trigger to get coke, I can have drink then I’m texting dealers.
So your son shouldn’t drink at all. Not after putting all that effort in anyway. He’s done well. Do you think he got some coke then?
Another thing what I’ve learned is, when I have been clean for 2 or 3 month. I think it’s OK to have a drink. I’m cured now, what a big mistake. Cocaine is a sneaky drug, it’s like a devil and angel on each shoulder saying, get some, don’t get some.. Constantly. Your brain is that clever, it can stay silent for a few week, then put you into situations we’re you can get coke. As it’s craving coke.
I personally think you have to be clean for a good year before you think you can be alright.
If your son has lapsed. Tell him it’s not the end of the world, it’s just a little blip and get back on track. It’s part of recovery. He’s done well so far. But if he’s telling you he’s OK at 2 3 month clean and he’s having a drink. I’d put my foot down and say no, but that’s up 2 u. Good luck
