Welcome, Duey. It's so great that you are taking this risk by reaching out. Hopefully some other guys will come along and make you feel "at home" with the group. My best wishes to you and Bonnie for taking these steps to find some serenity, peace and yes, even JOY in YOUR lives, whatever your son decides to do with his. We are only given this one life, Duey, and it's ours to choose how we are going to approach it each new day. Myself, finding myself here at Sober Recovery online helped remind me that I was NOT responsible for my son's choices, nor did I have to suffer through life with endless worry and despair, that I could remember the 3 C's and turn my son's choices over to him and his higher power, and I could start from that day forward to honor MYSELF and my own future, something I do have control over. It was hard some days, Duey, but in the long run I'm getting pretty good at being happy most every day
