Hi all
There’s not a day goes by when I do think about you and our sons.
I’m grateful that I can relax a bit not having to worry. It’s been hard for my son, I can’t thank the AA and CA fellowship enough for supporting him and getting through these last few months.
Hes helping others now, its all part of the 12 step program.
There’s light at the end of the tunnel, they just need to want to be clean so badly.
Incidently,I’ve just finished a lockdown course on ADHD. I did not realise there was a connection between that and substance abuse and addiction. I’ve often wondered over the years, if he had some kind of disorder, but now I’m wondering..
The impulsiveness, lack of organisation, lack of understanding of consequences, low self esteem, accidents, carelessness, lack of empathy sometimes. So many people homeless, or in prison probably with undiagnosed ADHD.
It would certainly explain a lot of things, wouldn’t it?
Adults can get diagnosed, but people with addictions have to wait until they’re so many months clean before they can seek a diagnosis, then that can take a while too.
I read Danman83 post who’s in recovery and he mentioned he has ADHD too.
Frustrating to think this all could have been avoided if we knew for sure . Any thoughts?
