The one piece of advise you would give to a newbie parent of an addicted child

When I reflect back on my journey over the last 3 years, after I discovered my son's addiction, there are many things I wish someone had sat me down and told me at the outset. I ended up making many mistakes as I flailed about in my desperation to exorcise this demon from my son's brain. (I recognize that I may not have listened at that time, as many things are only learnt by direct experience).

My goal is to compile a list for a newbie parent into the world of addiction of teenagers or young adults.

So here is my question, what is the one thing you have learnt in your journey through addiction which you wish you had learnt earlier on in your journey? Or what is the biggest mistake you made, which you wish you knew better?
