Hi riley123,
Welcome to the forum, everyone here is affected by addiction, whether it’s a loved one or people with addictions, and people in recovery offering help and support.
No need to feel alone or “where did we go wrong ” so many similar stories here. In fact , my story is almost word for word to yours.
If you click onto Share yourStory,
and then , “Theresa ” thread there are several of us mums with sons who have addictions. We are all in the same boat, but at least we can all relate to each other’s stories and offer help and support.
My son is 28 has alcohol and cocaine addictions, made our lives a living hell for 10 years. Reached out to us, (it has to be their decision) joined AA and CA meetings. Long story short, hes currently 5 months clean and doing well. Thank God.
Please look after yourself and others, don’t let this addiction consume you, like it does them.
I wanted you to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Stay strong, sending you my best wishes
