[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 751843, member: 23706"] You have my prayers as does your son. It isnt about your sons job. His problems are due to drinking.Period. Only after he quits drinking forever will his life change. I know recovered alcoholics who haven't drunk AT ALL for decades and never relapse anymore. It is a determination and a mindset. I am just leaving my therapis.t's office and am tired and driving home next to my driving husband. Today I had a very distressing call from Kay after all this time. I may or may not post about it. Anyway I spoke to my therapist about her and her two decades of constant pot abuse and now Kratom and other stuff that fogs up the brain. This therapist group that mine belongs to also works with addicts. My kind but no nonsense therapist reminded me that chronic pot use has been proven to negatively affect the brain and that this is a big reason why Kay gets no better. I am sure it is the same with alcohol. You cant abuse your mind and body for years and expect them to work right. Remember that your son is an alcoholic and will make bad decisions as long as he drinks at all, just like Kay. I don't like this but I accept it, especially after today. It was so nice when she didn't call at all. I had blocked her but she used a neighbor's phone and I answered the strange number. Prayers are in order for everyone today, I guess. [/QUOTE]
