Hi Jem
Thank you for replying it’s all so difficult
He did try AA a good few years ago
He bought the key ring learnt the prayer but wouldn’t do the hard work
And lost his driving licence which made attending meetings ‘difficult’
I am a very strong woman and have had many challenges in my life
My son has his good points and can work to get what he wants
But he is always looking for the easy option and won’t face up to who he his and work to stop the binge drinking
He hasn’t had a drink in the last 8 weeks
But only lasts a few days if I leave him
I’ve gone home 150 miles away and he buys huge amounts of drink (18 bottles of wine )
It’s blackmail to keep me here
But in November he went too far and it nearly killed him he was ill in hospital
His heart rate was 160+
It took me nearly 3 weeks to get him better
It’s an impossible situation he’s 49
He lives in the Swansea area
Sorry for the rambling
I hope you are getting somewhere with your son
