Hi, I have a 20 year old son taht suffered from physical abuse at the hands of his dad which I wasn’t aware of and now he’s turned to cocaine to deal with his feelings. The addiction is not just the problem, if I set boundaries or try to be firm or he as to face any consequences he tries to take his life which as lead to resuscitation in hospital and me finding him unresponsive and having to perform CPR on him amd due to the medication he took lead to an heart attack. Due to all the stress and upset I am now suffering with depression, anxiety and PTSD and under lots if counsellors. I am at an absolute loss on what to do??? Hes got a girlfriend of 7 years and a little boy ages 2 years but continues with his addiction. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya Gill, hope you are OK, no mum should go through that.
Anyways I’m a coke addict and I’m 4 week clean now. I’ve finally joined C A and I’m working my 12 steps. I feel so much better and happier and doing the steps will help with his underlying problems as its one of the steps. It’s not the drugs that are the problem it’s are underlying things that bother us.
Plus he could speak to someone while in C A. I’m Meditating each day now, and I feel so much happier. Does your son want to stop? He needs to want to stop really. The effects of coke when it’s wearing off is depression and suicidal thoughts. If I literally have just used my last bit I feel like crying. There is such a good support network with C A and he can get a sponsor and work the steps. Feel free to ask me anything
