[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 743189, member: 15032"] Jmom You were one of the people that inspired me on how to handle my son years ago. I was so impressed by how you handled him at that time, buying him a tent and all. I even told my husband your story. Then you disappeared. I have looked for you many times over the past few years but never did see you. I agree with a few of the other posters. I know you do not want your son to be a "functioning alcoholic". There are many of them out there and I know that you want more for him. I think him telling you what he did was a cry for help. Not that you can SAVE him from himself. No one can do that for another person. Wish we could!! Then we wouldn't need this forum or any other kind of help for that matter. All you can do is love him and guide him in the right direction. Other posters have given you great suggestions and I have nothing to add to that. It's so easy to tell others how to handle things but hard for us to do it ourselves because we think our situation is different or we are different; both which are true. But when it comes to addiction there are only a few things that really are effective. It sounds like you have your son's ear which in itself is very special. [/QUOTE]
