Always here to chat econrathe,
Everyone on this forum are so understanding and supportive.
My son is 28 and has alcohol and cocaine addictions, I know how this illness can consume the addict and their families. Unfortunately there just isn’t enough support for them.
It’s great that he was in that job for 25 years, it was probably his saving grace a lot of the time, bless him.
Yes, alanon will be a good support for you. Take as much support and advice as you need.
Take care of yourself now.
Sending hugs
