Hi Jamesb, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish I knew the right thing to say to you. I really admire you for the way you have fought your battle with addiction.
My son is 29, in recovery, 11 months. I know how hard this is for you both. My son told me it was always his “go to” when situations were difficult for him.
He still has moments when he’s struggling, but thankfully he has made some good friends in the CA fellowship and his sponsor is a great support. We’re here for him too, but the fellowship guys know what to say and do due to their experiences. I always seem to say the wrong thing and he gets upset with me for not “getting him”
I do hope you can speak to someone close James, or even a bereavement counselling service.
You’ve been through so much lad, please stay strong and keep in touch here. Danman83 is a good support and also in recovery.
Sending much love ❤️
