Hey Mtn you did GREAT!!!

Congrats also on your 35 days, those first 90 are really rough.

I see you live in Lake Tahoe, CA. There are some really GREAT AA and Alanon meetings up in that area!!!!! I know, used to go to them when I lived up there and just talked with one of my alanon friends up there 2 nights ago, lol.

The meetings will help you in your recovery from alcohol, and in keeping the boundaries you have set with your son.

Let me tell you that your boundaries are really GREAT. My folks finally did that to me when I was 33 1/2 yrs old. It took me another 2 and 1/2 years and 1 1/2 of that living on the street, before I found recovery, I was 3 weeks shy of my 36th birthday.

Your son will find recovery when he is ready. By asking him to leave, you have now made it possible for him to take responsibility for his own actions.

You are doing great.

We have lots of moms on here with children that are in addiction. You have come to the RIGHT place to hear some great ES&H.

Love and hugs,
