Hi,

I am Karen, my 39 yr old son is a recovering drug/alcohol addict. He has been in and out of treatment since 16. He went to a dual diagnosis treatment after his best friend died and his grandfather died due to depression and to detox from Klonapin. He was there for 6 months. He came home Oct. 2023. He was laid off about 6 months later. He hasn’t worked since except to cell his collectables. He lives at home. He has no life outside the house.
All his friends have gotten married or and still in active addiction in some way. i feel I am the worse person for him.

Hi Kami, I am sorry to hear about your situation. I am also glad you found ourweb page. Please try to join us for a group meeting. We meet at 9:00 P.M. eastern time on Monday and Thursday and at 8:30 P.M. on Saturday evening. Everyone in our group has a lived experience with addiction. It is a disease. You will learn alot on how to get your life back and deal with your son. Your story sounds so much like mine. I have a 38 year old son who has battled his illness since he was 14. He is currently in jail for assaulting and robbing me and will soon enter a 2 year drug court program for the 2nd time. If he messes up he is looking at several years in prison. I hope to see you soon at our meetings. Nar-Anon has given me some sense of sanity and a life back.
