I should have also let you know that I am 3 years sober and living life like never before. It feels so good. But I am having serious difficulty with the situation with my stepson. Details upcoming to anyone who wants to chat.

Welcome. You've come to the right place.

I can't help you with your specific situation. I don't have children. But I'm sure many others on here can give you advice.

Welcome to SR
You will get a lot of support both here as a sober alcoholic as well as in the friends and family section
Here is a link to the subforum where you will be most likely to find others in the same situation
NEW! Family Members of Addicts and Alcoholics - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

The forum above is specifically for relatives of alcoholics (parents/step parents, siblings) and is not always that busy. Another good one where you will find some support is the friends and family members

iasteve, you type I'll read. Not sure I have any advise but sometimes it's good just to get it out.

Steve, I'm sorry for the difficulties in your relationship with your stepson. I hope that you can take care of yourself and that your stepson will decide to stop drinking. Do check out the links Carlotta posted.
