In reply to Please help! My son is an alcoholic in trouble.., posted by tanner257 on December 23, 2004, at 20:10:16
I am also alcoholic and whole heartedly believe what the previous person's post talked about. I had a very similar situation with my mother trying to deal with me. She has become a very active al-anon member. try different meetings to get support from different personality types. The one thing I would really like to say is that, as a member of A.A., one of the best tools I have discovered is realizing the power of prayer and acceptance. This could apply to any individual, alcoholic or not, who sees the spiritual significance of suffering. As I'm sure you know, it is up to your son to arrest the disease. I had the willingness to get better the moment I lost everything and was dropped off at the homeless shelter with no money from mom.
wish you well.
