Hi both, my son is 21 and has a drink problem sometimes uses drugs too. He is currently managing to hold down a job and has been going to AA meetings for a few weeks. However, I don’t think this has been working for him. I recently read an article on The Guardian mentioning CBT therapy as a successful way to help addiction and we are looking into this. It is really hard and I am looking for other parents for support. However, I don’t feel that AlAnon is for me. He has also been to the local resilience and alchool service for an assessment but said the support worker spent one hour and a half talking to him rather than listen. Even if he has admitted he has a problem, he cannot stop himself.
