I'm sorry Eliasson - but drinking is not going to make any of that better and will definitely make things worse.

Re-read your old posts if you've forgotten who drinking really made you feel. There was not a lot of respite there, yeah?

I'll talk plainly.

Money troubles are tough - but spending more money you don;t have on alcohol is not going to fix the problem and neither is wasting days, perhaps weeks being drunk.

Is you son eligible for any scholarships or bursaries of any kind?

Is your family entitled to any assistance?

is your son prepared to help pay his way by getting a part time job?

There are ways for kids to go to college. It will happen

If you want respite please think of healthy ways to achieve this - meditation, exercise, sports, hobbies...even listening to music or watching a favorite TV show is better than nothing.

Try not to be afraid Elisson. You can get through this just like you've gotten through other things sober
