Thanks for both of your posts (as well as yours Marle)...I am struggling with both my oldest son's addiction and trying to put my own life back together (Humpty Dumpty has nothing on me right now). I am at day 5 in my own recovery. After multiple failed attempts for myself, I know I am quite limited in handling what I need to do in my relationship with my son. Right now I need to want my own recovery MORE then anything. It does help to read how parents further along then I am cope with their struggles. Don't understand much of it yet, but the hope just shines through for me.
Thanks again.
