I gotta quit drinking.

Our son has battled an addiction problem for over 20 years. We had him in several treatment centers all over the state and nothing seemed to work. My wife and I joined several AA support groups and we learned a lot about the problem of addiction and made several friends who were in the same situation as we were. It was totally tearing our family apart. Finally my wife found a guy who worked with AA and we met him and discussed our situation with our son’s addiction. At the time our son was homeless and in a terrible place. Gregg said he wanted to meet our son and sponsor him in AA if he was willing. Things worked out for our son and Gregg and they attend several AA meetings each week. Our son has been sober 7 years and continues his journey one day at a time. I can proudly say my wife and I have attended most all of our son’s meetings when he earned a new chip. I know AA is not for everyone but I encourage people with addiction problems to give it a try. I can honestly say I think AA saved our son’s life. Hope you get things worked out.

Glad your son is doing better. Psychedelic therapy might be worth looking into!

Case a day plus whiskey every day for 25 years. Finally had my best friend point blank tell me I was an ass and going to die sooner than later. That’s the short version. Said I would stop and never touch it again. I’m not a liar so I couldn’t go back. Started working out like a madman; like Rocky fighting the Russian shit. As time goes by it gets easier, but never goes away. Been sober 10 years now. My addiction now is old rifles and quality knives.
