Hi guys
Hope you don’t mind me reading your thread.
Ty85: I really sympathise with you as my 28yr old son has had alcohol and cocaine addictions for 10years. The last 5 have been most difficult.
Hes managed to hold down his job and has a flat last 3 years. It hasn’t been easy, blamed everything and everyone else for his debts, his moods . Hooked up with a gf who was totally wrong for him, it was a living nightmare for all.
I wanted to say that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. My son reached out for support last year. Started AA, CA and NA meetings, met others, got a sponsor currently working through the 12 steps program. Hes relapsed a few times, but this is not unusual.
He’s currently 60 odd days clean, more like himself , more loving, thoughtful, starting to feel ‘normal
Try not to beat yourself up, mine had a good upbringing too, he’s just got that addictive nature unfortunately.
As he says, love the addict but hate the behaviour. I try to remember that when he relapses and is tormented by everything that evil drug causes.
Remember you’re not alone focus on yourself and your family.
Always here to chat.
