Hi to everyone on this thread
I have been supporting my son for many years with his binge drinking as you may know from previous posts
The last episode in November made me realise I had to be with him I really thought he was killing himself
I took him to his gp at his lowest
As I thought his actions were a form of self harm
He had servere gastric problems depression and alcohol withdrawal
He was skin and bone and unable to eat
It has taking months of caring for him to
Get him well physically
But finally I’m ready to go home
He has worked hard himself to get back to work albeit still from home
He is having counseling he’s joined some social groups put weight on
And actually seems interested in life again
If it will last only time can tell
My mental health and my relationship has suffered I felt I have been going mad these past months I’m tired look awful
Im no hero but I have done my absolute best
I going home tomorrow he has said he will come to me for Easter
I just wanted to share a “good “outcome ????
As we all know the despair these addictions bring
Love and prayers for all
Remember to try to take care of yourselves

I will keep you updated
