Good that he’s respecting his grandparents. That could work – especially cutting ties with people who could be a bad influence on him. My son had to cut ties with all his friends as they drink. Drink is a trigger for him as he moves onto cocaine.

He’s 27, we’ve been through some emotional and upsetting times. Running up drug debt and expecting us to pay dealers who chase him up for money.

Fortunately last year he joined AA and CA meetings, attending sometimes daily. Did the 12 steps programme, got a sponsor, was clean for 3 months…but unfortunately has relapsed a few times. He knows he needs to stop, its very hard for him and recovering addicts.

At least he’s seeking help, it starts and ends with them.

We’re fine just now as he’s been clean almost 3 weeks, daily contact etc. Things could change so quickly so I don’t get too complacent. Read the other stories here too, I chat to other mums on the Theresa thread. Lots of support and advice.

I wish you well, stay strong
