Hi Eric
(it looked silly to say 'hi Foool' for a first greeting post)
welcome.
and well met.
I'm also in college
(although more than twice your age)
and there's in fact several programs and groups
sponsored by the school
for adult children of alcoholics. (ACOA)
I think checking it out in your school
would be a way for you to get
F2F support as well.
I'm glad you found us.
Now you're not alone.
Oh!
I have one advice for you
just to keep in mind.
I am also an alcoholic
(we call that 'twice blessed' around here)
and near the end of my 'career'
I also had siezures.
That's a major indicator
that even if your mother does decide to quit
(which she probably won't until something radical happens)
she could die
from going cold turkey
without a doctor's supervision.
Seizures definitely indicate
heavy duty bodily addiction.
Been there did that bought the t shirt.
SO please keep that in mind
your situation sounds as if
it's going to take a third party's supervision
(health care professional type)
no matter what you decide to do.
SO again - welcome and I"m glad you've found SR!
