[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 753220, member: 24254"] RN, is there any way that your son would give AA or NA a try? By attending meetings regularly, he gets the very support he needs. He gets to talk to other alcoholics/addicts who know what he is going through and whom he can call when he feels like drinking. I am concerned because he did drink. And the thing is that once alcohol enters the body, it can very quickly end up in a relapse on drugs. Alcohol creates the physical craving and the mental obsession. It very often starts with drinking once, and we think we have control over it until we very quickly do not. It is incredibly difficult to stay sober/clean without the support of other alcoholics/addicts. I am not saying AA is the only way to get/stay sober but it is a way I am familiar with and that is proven to work effectively for long term sobriety. The fact that your son gave in to the craving and did sneak drink is a sign that he is struggling with coping with his feelings. How wonderful he decided on college and that is an awesome degree to get. I will pray for your son that everything will work out and that he will get the degree and the job he interviewed for today.
