[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 764130, member: 13558"] I went the alcohol path for a while too. It almost cost me my career and the problems are still there along with a hangover. I wish I could say that my 33yo has turned his life around, but he's now 44 and still immature and still a substance abuser. He has nothing the average 44yo has, no home, car, but he does work at a job with low pay and zero benefits. There are many books written by the loved ones of children like ours and by experts. You can check most of them out of the library. I highly recommend them for YOU. There's not a lot you can do for others, so try to help yourself. My son was just released from a weekend at a behavior center for drugs, alcohol, suicide. He lies so much I really am clueless as far as his life. His constant money requests let me know he is using even if he has stopped alcohol. He lost a friend to cocaine unknowingly laced fentynal last week. He told me the friend didn't use drugs, my son said the friend only uses cocaine. I replied cocaine is an addicting drug. It's difficult and they are the only ones able to help themselves. I see many of the same personality traits of our loved ones here. They aren' t willing to do the hard work needed to get out of the hole they've dug for themselves. (((hugs))) Take care of you so you have the strength to live your life! [/QUOTE]
