Sorry to read this and understand how helpless you feel. My sons both have addictions and I’ve learnt that it doesn’t really matter what the addiction is as they all result in much the same way – albeit some might be illegal. There is help available to all but each individual has to make a conscious decision to stop. Even when they do this the road ahead is long, bumpy and sometimes goes back to the start. As a mother I cannot give up on my sons but you can decide, if you need to, to walk away. I’m not encouraging you to do that but reminding you that you can. Try to see/speak to someone and always remember addictions are serious illnesses and our loved ones do make choices but these are normally to self-medicate for trauma so they need understanding, love and support whether we stay near or far. Take care of yourself.
