I am the 47 year old mother of a 22 year old meth addicted son. He began smoking pot in high school and has continued downhill from there. Countless phone calls from jail. Calls that he was going to harm himself. Calls regarding everything under the sun and none of it was ever self created or his fault.
I finally when "very little contract" with him 6 months ago, found this site and walked into my first al-anon meeting. I've been getting way better at taking care of me and have told him to get in touch when he is ready to seek recovery for himself. I thank all of you here for your openness and honesty and am so grateful I found this site. Oh and do I have any harmful addictions other than co dependency? My husband may say a penchant for nice ski gear.
