Again it's been a while but this past month even after I was feeling good for a while I am dealing with my older son who is 18 who finally admitted that he is an alcoholic after the fact that he got pulled over with open bottle in his car. He went to rehab for 10 days and now is going to out patient for 2 weeks and of course doing 90 days AA meetings. I am so stress over this that I can't even think straight some days. I been going up and down with crying a lot, worrying whats going to happen next and so on. He has been drinking since 6th grade 2 bottles of hard liquor and really didn't catch on but knew that he did drink but not like that. I do have alcoholic in my family so I know it runs in the family. He will be clean for 30 days this Sunday which I am very proud of him for this, but I guess as a parent you just worry what if he picks up again. Any advice please. TIA:) P.S. right now I am doing ok since my Dr had to change my med several times.
 
Barbara, sending (((hugs))) and healing vibes your way.

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.

No advice, but lots of (((hugs))).

My BIL has problems with alcoholism and has been pulled over numerous times for DUI, and been in jail, and lost his license for 10 years - it's just been a huge mess. I can see how much it's worn on my in-laws, so I can really sympathize.
 
Barbara, I'm so sorry for your agony. I grew up in a home with an alcoholic parent, and I have a niece with drug and alcohol problems. We've lost many a nights sleep worrying about her. You're not alone and I'll keep you and your DS in my prayers.
 
Your son is so fortuanate to have a supportive mother. I feel for both of you and will say a prayer for each of you.

Your son is fortunate to have you stand beside as he begins this process. I will say a prayer for you and your family. Stay positive.

{{{{HUGS}}}} and prayers for you and your son. I grew up with an alcoholic mother.... so I feel your pain.
 
Barb - You and your son and family are in my prayers!!
A friend of mine, attends AA. She is not an alcoholic, but her ex-boyfriend was. She started attending with him, unfortunately, they broke up. But, she continues to go. She's learned alot, esp. on dealing with a loved one. It may also help you to be around others that are in the same situation. God Bless you!!

Barbara....I am sending ((((HUGS)))).....you are a great supportive mother. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers....
 
Barbara, sending hugs and healing vibes!! I am sure you know this, but just make sure the whole family is involved in his recovery. It is crucial. Be very invovled in his counseling and go to the family sessions that they have. You also have to understand that it is his decision to drink or not. You have no power over that- which makes it very hard. Good luck!

((((Barbara))))),

I will pray for your son. I do not have any alcholism in my family but I know a few recovering alcoholics. It IS very possible to beat it and live a completely normal life again. He can do this! I know he can! He is still young and strong. Have faith and please do not forget to take care of YOU! :)
 
His admitting he has a problem is winning half the battle. Your prayers and support are a tremendous help to him. I will keep both of you in my prayers. I would like to suggest that the best thing for you would be to go to Alanon meetings, at least once a week if possible . You will learn so much, get a lot of support and will then be able to support your son better.
