Hi Desperateme, welcome to the forum. Everyone here has a loved one who has addictions and also some people in recovery offering support and advice.

I’m so sad to read your story , you and your family have been through such a lot. I just wanted you to know that people care and there is support for you.

My 28yr old son has alcohol and cocaine addictions so I do have an understanding of how it can affect a family.

Unfortunately I don’t have all the answers, but perhaps the Icarus trust could help, or the adfam homepage. I’m sure you would benefit from speaking to one of the counsellors.

Please take care of yourself first and foremost. You will need to stay strong if you’re going to support her.

Thinking and praying for us all here.

You’re welcome, also as a mum of a person with addictions, go to ‘share your stories ‘ and click onto Theresa thread. There are several of us mums all with sons (mostly sons) who have addictions. When you read the threads you will realise you are not alone and the ladies are all very helpful and supportive.

Thank you for your wishes, praying for us all here.
