We had a recent situation with my son being very disoriented, agitated and seeing things that weren't there. He was having DTs due to suddenly going cold turkey from vodka. Long story short, he ended up in the hospital for 5 days of detox. It was very scary for me to see him in such an awful state.

I hope your son gets a good evaluation and pursues the recovery the facility will either offer or recommend. Stay strong and know we are listening.
Thanks for the hug. Very much appreciated!

Luckily, while he was in jail, I decided to schedule an appointment for ME for a counselor. I am going Thursday. Hopefully she will help me cope with everything and have recommendations. Her credentials look strong for working with addiction. If you haven't already, you should consider counseling. I think we parents deserve help to cope with it all!

Thanks for listening.
