    My son is a alcoholic for 20 years since a teen

    Where to begin. Called @ 5 am from hospital out of state, my # was found in my sons phone by the nurse. A call I dreaded the past 20 years.

    My son has escalated his life is out of control & behavior to a very sad place.

    Actually the meds he was taken caused a schizophrenia psychotic episode.

    He is in the hospital in another state where he lives, at this moment on LIFE SUPPORT in ICU .

    He is in a coma. If he does make it, it will be a long,long road to recovery... He must fight.

    He is so seriously injured he will be on a respirator and require 24/7 care.

    We have lost so much,yet I will not give up hope he will make it and he will live a normal happy life. Why because I found someone special on this site who told me about the meds to stop the cravings for alcohol. Who told me about this wonderful site & I have so much faith that when my son comes off Life Support he will breath on his own and The Lord has been with him the whole time and given him peace and forgiveness that he can and will live a good life full of love happiness & joy. That's all he ever really wanted his whole life he lost it all to alcohol.

    This is his second chance to live, The Lord has given him the courage to be sober.

    A piece of my heart will always be with him,with all the hugs and love to give him peace.

    My life will not be the same without him though he is my son I will love through it all, just to have him happy again is a prayer always in my heart.

    We as women ,mothers,sisters who know Our Heavenly Father has given us the miracle of birth, I still hold the life of my child's future in my hands. I will make the most of all the advice shared here with the drugs that stop the cravings ,to AA to all the great books you have recommended. I am not done and neither is my beloved son. My prayer is to give him the tools you have given me to turn his life around.

    Thank you all for your support and positive attitude. I appreciate all the advice. I may have not written back to everyone,I apologize, I'm sure u understand why.
    My son will live, he will breathe on his own and he will stop being that pathetic alcoholic..

    The Lord has given me the guiding light to show him the light to recovery....is just a few moments of time away. I've got lots of time whatever it takes. I can do this he will want to quit.He can change.

    Thank you all for your thoughtful responses and my for my special friend. I take all your words to hold in my heart to give my son your gift of hope.

    LEARN from my son's mistakes this can happen to anyone.

    I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you will not wander from your convictions to remain clean & SOBER.

    It sounds like you've been provided a wealth of advice, so all I'll say is insist the doctor address an appropriate course of action once he's discharged from the hospital. Hoping for the best for your son. Take care.
    In the middle of my life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood, as I had lost the straight path. It is a difficult thing to speak about, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood is. Just thinking about it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death, but in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there. --Dante, paraphrased

      How is UR sobriety ,mow many days months years? Have you been clean & sober.
      And please change your name & pic it's not funny and very hurtful. Especially for parents who watch their children self-destruct before their very eyes.
