Hi Kazza, welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing your story here.

I’m sorry to read about your son’s addiction to alcohol and everything you’re going through.

It’s heartbreaking to watch your loved one destroying their lives and to be constantly worried and stressed with everything that comes with addiction.

I wanted you to know that there’s no need to feel alone in this nightmare.

The Adfam homepage offer advice and support, as do Drugfam and the Icarus trust. I , myself usually post on the Theresa thread, we are all mums with sons at varying stages in their addiction/recovery.

The ladies are so kind and supportive, and it’s nice to vent to others who understand what you’re going through.

Click above to ” share your story ” and then scroll down until you see Theresa. It’s a long thread as there’s many of us on it. Also, there are some people in recovery offering support and advice too, read Danman83 or Jamesb posts.

Please take time out for yourself, confide in someone close, look after your own health and well-being.

My son is 29yr and has alcohol and cocaine addictions. Thankfully a couple of years ago, he reached out for support and joined AA and CA groups. It’s been tough, but he’s currently over 1yr clean. It has to be their own decision to quit, you can’t make them do it. That’s why, in the meantime, you have to take of you and any other family members first and foremost.

Always hear to chat,

Stay strong ❤️
