someone to talk to
Hi and welcome,
I'm not a parent nor do I have someone I love in my life who's an addict.. I'm a recovering alcoholic myself. But you will find much support and guidance here from people who's lives have been turned up side down by addiction ... I just want to say I'm glad your son is taking the first step to recovery and I'm wishing you and he strength in this new chapter.
I know this is difficult for you and you probably have lots of processing and healing to do as well. I have heard Al-anon has helped many deal with the pain and frustration of having a loved one who's an addict.

What is your son in rehab for? We have two separate forums; one for friends and family of alcoholics and one for friends and family of substance abusers. Lots of support there from people in similar situations.
