Hi Caper
It is good to see you back. Please stay with us.
I too, think the 28 day programme would be the best thing for you and your son. Realising that you don't want to leave him again, this time would be different. You will be doing something for yourself AS WELL as him. Being 10 years old, he probably understands a whole lot more than one realises. Perhaps you could have an honest chat with him about where you are going. Maybe not mentioning alcohol, but just that you need help and this is the best way to get it. The programme would also be able to help you with your abuse of Ritalin. If you have started this only recently, it would be good to nip it in the bud before you become totally addicted. Your little boy needs you and I can see that you desperately want to be there for him. You have already made an important, huge step just by joining AA. It shows your strength and determination to be well. I admire you for that.
I wish you the best. Please let us know what you decide. Would you have access to us whilst being an inpatient?
Sabrina
