Really Struggling
Last Monday night I received a phone call from my Grand Son that he had overdosed on Tabs and was about to hang himself. We rushed over and had to cut him free. He had had huge amounts of AL , weed and tablets. The ambulance arrived and the police. He survived this time . I have been struggling with AL abuse all my life and can could easily just hit the bottle. but I know I must stay strong for him!! Life hands us some shit at times; just am lost now as I think he will eventually die. just love him so much.Tags: None

Take care of yourself friend. That is a really tough situation for you all to be in.

Need,
Well, that is a really tough piece of business. But from where I sit, AL is the problem, not the solution.
This is a real learning opportunity for both you and your grandson. You can lead by example and he will have a positive role model in his corner. You can trust me when I say, AL never solved ONE of my problems only created more. Please direct your energy to where it will do the most good! Do whatever it takes to get thru this day AF, no matter what. Thats what I did and it worked for me.
My heart bleeds for you, but please hang in with us. AL IS the problem. Not drinking ia the solution. Hugs to you, ByrdieLast edited by Byrdlady; June 14, 2016, 07:38 PM.

So sorry to hear that your Grandson was in a bad place, but good to hear he is getting treatment. Get a plan and start your journey anew, this is your chance to turn it around for you and be their for your grandson too. Good luck! Look at the toolbox, it is very helpful!

Hi, N2C-
So sorry. What a horrible and out of control feeling that must have been. Stay strong for him, stay sober for yourself. There are other ways to deal with stress and ultimately, you'll have to deal with the issues, and you'd just have to do it hung over.
