I tried all along the way. I’d tell him, you’re going to get addicted to alcohol if you don’t stop, you’re going to lose your family if you don’t stop, you’re going to lose your career if you don’t stop, and it is true now. He still says alcohol isn’t his problem- it’s society, it’s his family, its misconceptions about alcoholism, it’s not his fault that he’s an alcoholic. That’s the biggest part of the problem- he downplays how serious it is.
I feel so incredibly bad for all you moms are dealing with drug addictions and have dealers coming to them and tempting them. My son walks himself to the liquor store. I guarantee if he had someone tempting him, he’d fail. The outcome is the same I guess. Their lives are a mess and so is ours.
