So sorry to hear your sons problems with addiction. Addiction affects the whole family. My husband is a recovering addict and has been clean 3 years. He has a sponsor and sponsees. He never wanted to give up taking drugs. He went to NA to appease me, and something clicked with him. The first couple of years or do he wasn’t really clean as he was drinking alcohol. Then he started again, got a sponsor and started working the 12 step programme. He has put the work in. Recovery is possible. We have two daughters and it has been hard over the years. But now finally we can see a change. No lies. No addict behaviour. He isn’t perfect, no one is. He is clean and serene, one day at a time. Please don’t give up on your loved ones, but do have boundaries. That’s one thing I stuck to. At First I used to enable. To be honest at times it’s hard to know what to do. Good luck all of you ????
