I am sure that my 26 yr old son has

I am sure that my 26 yr old son has a problem with his drinking. He hurt himself fighting his brother and got a DUI. This is not the first incident and I'm deeply concerned :pensive::pray: I know there is nothing I can really do besides praying for him. I tried telling him that I think he needs some help... maybe go to treatment? But he got defensive immediately, but I hope he thinks about it...

I am 34 days clean and sober and this weighs heavily on my mind :sob::broken_heart::weary:

im so sorry, that must be incredibly painful to watch :pensive: from what Iโ€™ve been learning, we canโ€™t really push someone into recovery, they usually have to want it for themselves. but your love and concern absolutely matter, and just knowing someone is there can make a difference when theyโ€™re ready.

The biggest thing you can do for someone in active addiction is to continue to show them love and concern with a big ol heart full of forgiveness. You just have to pray that they get it sooner rather than later. Hang in there, Mom. :kissing_heart:
