Sorry my message keeps repeating. It all sounds so familiar. Addiction is a dreadful illness and it is an illness all we can really do is stand by and watch it unfold until they choose a different path. Sometimes that never happens because the addiction is to strong. I’m sure you know all this the one thing I know for sure is make sure he knows you love him but these are his choices.
Can I just ask if you are sure it’s just alcohol he is using. It’s just the paranoia sounds so similar to incidents I had with my son who was on cocaine.
We would jump from one crisis to the next it was never ending and it would normally happen at a time I was planning to go away or do something nice for me. I can’t offer useful advice because as I’m sure you know until they want things different it won’t happen. May not help if he’s living right near a dealer though and is it possible he owed money and that’s why he was beaten up
It’s an awful situation no parents should have to bear. Thinking of you

He would need to give permission for her to talk to you and what can she say. She doesn’t know if he’s using. Tell him you love him you are pleased he is doing well and wait and see. By the way he’s talking to you i would guess he is not clean and deep down you know that
What beta blocker is he on. Is it proven with cocaine just wondered as I have meeting with nhs mental health and drug team this afternoon. I hope it’s a turning point for your son x
If your son could see the absolute devastation my sons death has caused. If he could feel for one second the pain I and my daughter feel. If he could hear my two year old grandaughter asking for her daddy maybe just maybe it would stop him in his tracks. X please god
My son was a cocaine addict, he tried to commit suicide three times due to desperation, all his money went to dealers and he could not stop himself. I read these posts and I get transported back to how it was. Stay strong, I pray he finds his way through this. X
No I know x that’s why we are in such torment
Just keep going. It’s all we can do. When I read the posts it takes me back to our experiences. Sadly it didn’t end well for us. All I can say is keep loving him x
Oh god this sounds so familiar. Love to you all. You are doing everything you can xx. It’s hard going. I know too well
He will be worse on his own as my son was but what do you
This is what happened to my son his drug use drove his ex and the children away. She used the children against him which really made him go downhill. All I would say is whatever you do do it with kindness and the children’s and his best interest x good luck it’s a really hard thing to do. He has a choice really as to what he wants. Sometimes the addiction is just to strong
Thank you. Xx
I have my daughter here, she’s in as much pain as me. It’s not my sons fault I blame the people that purposely kept him trapped in that world. He couldnt get out. It’s a horrible illness and it is an illness. I don’t think there is any right way of dealing with it. We just muddle through as best we can
