Hi Joanie, you poor thing, no wonder you’re exhausted!
It is exhausting and mentally draining looking after a loved one with addictions. I’m sorry to hear about your health issues with cancer too. I do hope that things will improve for you. It helps to share your story here.
When you log into the website, there are 3 headings – Share your story, Drugs alcohol and mental health, and Bereavement. Your story is on the Drugs and alcohol one. Click onto Share your Story one and scroll down until you see the Theresa thread. I feel that I am amongst friends who are so kind and understanding despite their own difficult circumstances.
Our sons are all at different stages in their addiction but thankfully we can support each other.
I hope you have a nice time in London, a chance to switch off, hopefully you’ll have a lovely birthday.
Try not to worry, the addicts prayer begins: God grant me the courage to accept the things I cannot change….works for us parents too!
I hope your son finds the strength to fight his battle, the AA and CA fellowship groups have been a great support to my son. Hopefully your son will seek support when he is ready.
Sending you hugs, stay strong Joanie.
Lx ❤
