Welcome to SR.......although I'm sorry for the circumstances that have brought you here. Good to hear that your son is in treatment and hope and pray that he continues on his path to recovery. Also good to hear that you are attending the treatment center sessions. It was during my son's inpatient treatment that I was finally made aware that I had a serious problem as well. It was the beginning of my recovery process.

Process....recovery is a process......not an absolute.

I also do not drink but my husband does occasionally as do many of my friends. It doesn't bother me that they drink......it's their choice.....it doesn't affect me and they are productive members of society. But I probably do have a higher "intolerance" to being around someone who drinks too much. And it's probably related to my son's addiction/alcoholism issues.

I hope you'll find lots of support here. I have.

gentle hugs
