Mom of an Alcoholic/addicted person
Permalink  

I'm new here today.  Are there groups or certain forums for topics.  I am the mom of a 26 yo male, and I just need to know I'm not alone and how to deal with everyday issues.

I'm familiar with AL-Anon, I used to attend meetings when my ex-husband/alcoholic was alive, now I'm going through it with my son.

Hi and welcome to MIP... this board is an open forum, so you can discuss any recovery related idea/concern/situation that you would like to....

There is also a Chat Room available on this site....

One book you might want to get is "Getting Your Children Sober", written by Toby Rice Drews....

 

Take care

Tom

Thank you all! I'm already feeling a bit optimistic and stronger. Luckily this time around I have an awesome husband who supports me more than I probably deserve at times, I can be very trying myself!!!!

Unfortunately I have been unable to find my books and notes and reminders from years ago......probably 15-20 years ago.....I may have passed it on to someone who needed it, somehow I think I remember doing that! Anyway.....I'm really thankful I've found this board and am thankful there are good folks like y'all who will share in an effort to help others. XO

You are not alone ! I am the mother of a 24 yr old addict. Seems like we have been through 8 years of pure hell. Thankfully I found Alanon almost 4 yrs ago now and while my son continues his addiction this program has savGlad yed my life and my sanity.
If you would like to private message me please do. We also have meetings here online and there are many ala-parents.
Glad you found us!
Prayers for you and son~
