Thanks. That’s so nice to hear. CA people are so inspiring. So generous with their time. They can reach into the minds of their fellow sufferers in a way that me or Sarah could not. I pray our loved ones can be absorbed into that way of life. Its a great “club”.

Not looking forward to the pubs opening ????

Thanks for the welcome. He was seeing his son. Unfortunately his ex has another ( from a string) boyfriend. He is doing his best to parentally alienate my son: is “your dad’s a drug addict…”. So not so great.

Nice your boy has a good relationship he has managed to keep going.

Thanks again.

I’m replying to myself here????.

But someone wrote earlier that they had peace when their child was in hospital. I get that. I often think that if my son had a ” conventional” disability it would be easier.

And it’s not as if the illness is a straight line to destruction. You see the child in the adult and you reach out to rescue them. And then they are gone again. In the sea of drugs and selfishness.

I don’t have any answers. But I don’t want to go to my grave as a victim of this addiction.

Bless you all..

Thanks to you all for being so open with each other and sharing.

I am a 61 year old married grandad whose addictive son is 31 tomorrow. He has a little boy of 11 years who lives with his ex.

The pattern is the same. My responses are the same. Been a heavy cocaine user for 10 years now.

It’s knowing when to throw the towel in.

He goes to Cocaine Anonymous. For about a year now. They seem very supportive. But he relapsed again about a month ago. He has a job he is good at fortunately. But me and my wife are always anxious and can’t ” live”.

Good luck to you all.
