Hi Paula 5

Welcome to the forum , there are lots of people here who have loved ones with addictions. There also people in recovery offering support and advice. The forum has advice and support and so do the Icarus trust who post regularly.

I’m so sorry to hear of your troubles and I want you to know that someone is listening and people on this forum really care and support each other.

My son is 27 and has been dabbling for more than 10yrs. It comes to a head a year ago. No money, drug debt, job insecure because of absence. Thankfully he reached out to us, went to daily AA, CA and NA meetings (now online) met others, they support each other, do the 12 steps program, does meditation for anxiety. Not gonna lie, he’s relapsed a few times, but he’s trying even though it’s tough.

Everyone’s different, deal with it differently. I can’t talk to my sisters or folks about it, it’d blow their minds.

If you click onto ‘share your story ‘ and read the Theresa thread, there’s about 6 of us mums all with sons who have addictions.

Don’t be alone in this, we deserve a bit of happiness in all this too.

Always here to chat,

Lx
