I beg to differ. I was desperate for a new way of life when I was in rehab, and grabbed all the tools I could before I was discharged, and continued my recovery outside of rehab by immersing myself in 12-step programs and making recovery my top priority. I'm proud to say I've been clean/sober for 21+ years.

Bookreader, welcome to SR!

I am also a recovering codependent as I had an addict/alcoholic husband (now deceased) and I have a 34-year-old addict daughter.

I know for me, Alanon, therapy, and the book "Codependent No More" have helped me tremendously in dealing with my AD.

I also have a 23-year-old daughter who is codependent herself, and I work hard to stay out of the frequent drama in her life. I have gone N/C with her before in order to keep my serenity, and have also done the same with AD.

Perhaps it is time for you to go no contact with your son for a bit? Just a thought.

Sending you hugs of support!
