[QUOTE="Carolita2, post: 669583, member: 19632"] Thanks for your reply..I really appreciate hearing your story and your strength which is what I hope to gain. I would never judge anything anyone does in dealing with this overwhelming family disease.I do attend Alanon and Naranon...I can relate so much to your experiences with your son...in fact the relocation to the West was recommended by a 3rd party my husband and I went to see..It was supposed to be a sober living community but they decided that they didn't want it and we didn't hold our ground ..We have made lots of bad choices this year and yes we actually threw money at the problem for 6 months before we woke up and realized how sick and codependent we had become again...I did not think we would be in this mess again. I am very afraid this time, maybe PTSD from all the harrowing experiences in the past and the fact that he has does have a dual diagnosis brought on by substance abuse..Some addicts do die rather than make a different choice and we just never know, my best friend lost her son 3 years ago..nevertheless we are powerless over the addict..the turning point and whst brought me to this site was researching the area where he is living and finding out that there are alot of services available to them offering employment sevices, food cupboards, utility assistance and more..with that knowledge we feel we have to let go and put the 30 day notice in....and take care of ourselves and the other people in our lives..
