Hi Deborah, welcome to the forum, everyone here has a loved one with addictions and also some people in recovery offering support and advice too.

Thank you for sharing your story, I’m so sorry to read that this evil drug is destroying young person’s life. Its such a difficult position to be in , as a mum you love them, but don’t want to enable them either.

I usually post on the Theresa thread. There are several of us mums with sons who have addictions and every one is so supportive and understanding.

The adfam homepage offer advice and support and the Icarus trust posts here too.

We all share the same thoughts and fears for our sons. They need to know that they are loved, but we shouldn’t have to put up with the nightmare that goes with their choices.

Please look after your own health and well-being. Confide in a close friend or keep posting here.

The problem won’t go away until the addict seeks the help and support themselves unfortunately.

My son is almost 29, he has alcohol and cocaine addictions, I can totally sympathise with you.

Take care of yourself,

Lx ❤
