This is the third time and we know what to do but just reaching out to you all is what I need today. I woke up crying and maybe thats a good thing. Gotta get those tears out. I'm just praying that my son is smart enough not to dwell in harms way too long cause this time there is no cushion...thanks for being here. You all have no idea how much this site means to me. Hugs~

Your words really tore at my heart. I understand how desparately you want to fix your son. You want to love the addiction away.....we all do. If it was only that easy.

I am walking this path with you....being the Mom of an adult addict/alcoholic. It's a tough path. But there are many here who walk with us. Many here who have experienced everything that we are experiencing. There are some who have survived the worst possible outcome and are showing us how to continue on with grace.

You are not alone.

gentle hugs from another Mom
