[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 502287, member: 3305"] Susie, The "road" has never been easy...I don't think it is for any of us who have raised or been raised with addicts/alcoholics...you included, hugs. After I posted a short while ago, I read through a year a half of "notes" I took during my time at AA and Al Anon 5 plus yrs ago. How I needed to re-read it. I am reminded that Alcohol blots out consciousness and insanity takes over. That without G-d there is no help. This is "spiritual warfare". And, it is not between young difficult child and me. It is up to young difficult child to get to that place...that "bottom" and truly want help. He has to admit he is Powerless over Alcohol...that only the "G-d" (of his understanding) can restore him to sanity. Obviously, Insanity would be to take another drink when he gets out. I need to stay close to my Higher Power. I need to let young difficult child be G-ds business not mine. I will continue to pray that G-d will direct young difficult child's path. That is all I can do. My past "interference" in G-ds plan has not worked. Now he is a "big boy" and is being punished no longer by me or husband but by society. He has not lost his family "yet". His wife still loves him...His children still love him. So really he is very "lucky" if you will right now, in my opinion. Many addicts/alcoholics lose Everything before they seek "help". Thank you for your support Susie. You are a dear friend. Love, LMS [/QUOTE]
