Re: son who drinks

I know what I am about to say is so much easier said than done. But
there is nothing you can do but give it to God (or higher power). Take
your worries and fears, write them down and put them in a box, call it
your God box. When your son is ready he will find you. Until then you
will only drive yourself insane if you do nothing but worry about
something you have no control over. This is something I have had to
learn the hard way. And believe me, I know how hard this is to do. And
do not get down on yourself when you fail. Just pick yourself up again
and remind yourself of the serenity prayer. It applies to us too. Go
to a meeting, talk to people who have been in your exact situation.
They too have been where you are. Just as I have. Put your arms around
yourself and squeeze, that is from me.
