I’m glad you’re looking after yourself. You need something to keep you sane.
There’s no rhyme or reason why they pick this path. I think my son has mental health issues, ie undiagnosed adhd or ocd.
I’d think your son will be struggling too, if he’s an ex veteran and done tours in Afghanistan.
Rehab can be so expensive and may not always be the answer either.
My son was clean from alcohol and cocaine for almost 6 months after joining AA and CA meetings regularly. Seems to work for a lot of people too, but they really have to want to quit first themselves.
My younger daughter is also affected by his behaviour and how it affects us as a family.
It’s good to share stories here as people understand and give advice and support
Take care
