    Jeez, that's tough, hadit! Sorry you're going through this. :l:l

    All I can say is that alcohol never makes things better. You need to be a kind sober ear for your family right now and not drinking will allow you to be a strong role model for your family. Keep strong!
    Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

        Sorry you are having such a difficult time. Our first knee jerk reaction certainly is to drink. The problem is it never makes anything better. Not that I'm anyone to give advice.

        I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. Xo

          Live goes on whether we drink or not. Not drinking just happens to make it a lot more bearable and manageable.
          I used the Sinclair Method to beat my alcoholic drinking.

          Drank within safe limits for almost 2 years

            Being clearheaded at a time like this is difficult, but necessary to deal with the problems at hand. Drinking is just "kicking the can down the road," and problems unfortunately have a tendency to snowball when you do that.
            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

                This must be very painful, Hadit. I'm so sorry, and I can certainly understand your wish to say "the hell with it!" I'm glad you chose to post here instead, which is a much better choice.

                Hang in there, once the shock wears off, you will start to be able to deal with all this, and not drinking will make it much easier to manage.

                  How are you feeling, Hadit? I tried to send you a private message to thank you but it said you couldn't.

                      This will be a great time to get sober...... That way you will have a straight head to try and help your GS when he is released.

                      He needs someone drug free in his life, so this can be your incentive.

                        I'm so sorry Hadit. I can only echo what the others have said - being sober and there for him is the best thing for both of you. :h

                        I didn't come this far to only come this far.

                          Thanks Guys, I guess my desire to stop drinking is a bit driven by the fact I see so,so many kids(and Adults) Drug and AL affected. I AM JUST one of them AND DON,T FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT ANYMORE. i guess in some ways I blame my own addictive personalty for my sons drug and al addiction and now my GS. Thanks again Started AB today so will be posting lots (and the odd rant if thats OK ):thanks:

                            You can't blame yourself. It's either in them or its not. I am the daughter of a raging alcoholic and I didn't start drinking until well in my 30's after a traumatic event. My brother was addicted to drugs and alcohol from a young age, maybe 16. Some children of alcoholics don't overindulge at all.

                            It's not you. You're a good person with a small flaw but you aren't alone! Xo

                              Thanks again Phin. I need to eradicate that kind of negative thinking !! It takes all kinds. I have seen heavy drinkers with parents who don,t take a drop and and the reverse. It does worry me though the amount of booze kids in this country are pouring down their throats.
