Hi Catsmum

I usually post on the Theresa thread, but I like to support others in same situation.

It’s a nightmare, I know, I’ve been there too. Pleased don’t feel alone in this.

My son has alcohol and cocaine addictions. They go hand in hand generally, my son is currently over 4 Months into recovery thankfully. He has to abstain completely from alcohol.

We also had to bail my son out several times, costing thousands. We had to say ‘no more,’ he was ready to seek help by then. He joined CA and AA meetings, did the 12 step program with his sponsor. It wasn’t easy for him, especially the early weeks. But as he was making the effort – so were we.

I wanted you to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel. My son still has off days, but he keeps busy, does daily meetings and meditation. Also does podcasts and has the fellowship guys to support him.

I believe the Icarus trust offers advice and support too. Please find time to look after yourself and your well being.

Take care ❤
