hi blue butterfly and nevergiveup although my problem is with weed with my son i am also a recovering drinker there is a lot of alcoholics in my family i think we have addictive personalities i now have an addiction with collecting stuff mainly art glass which i do spend money on but at least it isn’t hurting my family and at worst i can sell it and get my money back and maybe moreso. But i know too well what addictions are it makes you selfish not see things clearly when i look through sober eyes now i am kicking myself my eldest son is addicted to weed and now my eldest daughter i have two younger daughters i am really going to town on them as i don’t want them thinking drinking and drugs is normal it is the society we live in that doesn’t help drugs and drink are treat like a norm but when you have addictive personalities it soon goes off track my son as schizophrenia now due to weed use he didn’t do drink much as he always got into serious trouble and was abusive with it so it put him off but did weed in excessive amounts itas affected our relationship we have had a big fall out but he as become very abusive and angry at me i have had to block him but i feel for you both as at least i don’t have to deal with him as he isn’t living with me but obviously it hurts like hell as i have lost a son to drugs as my son would never speak or abuse me like that horrible is drink and drugs take care of yourselves as it makes you mentally and physically ill Sharon
