[QUOTE="DDD, post: 49011, member: 35"] I know this is presumptious, Mikey, but as a recovering addict would it help you to attend a few meetings? Although I don't yet think I have an alcohol "problem"..I realize that using Cutty to survive all these years since I no longer have cigarettes as my coping method may be an indicator of addiction in the future. My Dad was a member of AA. Even though he never fell off the wagon, when there was alot of stress at home he would quietly say "I'm going out for awhile" and head to an AA meeting. With four teens at home there was stress quite often and, like my husband and I, he found his tolerance level reduced as each of us reached "the stage" of causing problems. He coped with school problems, social problems, mouthy issues etc. much more easily than he did when my brother would roll in drunk as a skunk....or one of my sisters or I got tipsy. Maybe your sons choices are particularly difficult for you to cope with because of your previous experiences. At meetings you would have the comfort of speaking freely to others with the intimate knowledge. It could serve as a net for you when wife and easy child are gone. Hope you don't mind my intrusion. My intentions are honorable even if I do "cross the line" occasionally. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
