Very anxious about my sons behaviour .

[Dodo777]

My son is Drinking alcohol and he doesn't realize how obnoxious he gets and he is causing trouble people are avoiding him and that alone is making him angry. He fought with some guy broke his leg and fallen out with girl friends. I warned him please do not drink anymore but he was in a good mood at the time and said I'll be ok Dad and it all turned to shite and I am now worrying my guts out because he just bought a few beers. People talk about drugs being so harmful but I see alcohol being the biggest problem where I live. Domestic violence is rising people being murdered all because they drank way to much and went berserk and in the morning when reality kicks in they fall to pieces. I hate, hate, hate alcohol in any form most can not handle it and so much damage is being caused.

I have had a good few days eating and drinking which I am pleased about because I have had an awful few months struggling to drink and eat. My mental health could be better if my son didn't worry me so much. I just wish my boy would stick to smoking weed and taking the odd diazepam. Its late I been doing a lot of driving mostly for my boy getting bits and bobs and now I will be up pretty late drinking my smoothies. Got some TV to watch so just tuck in under my quilt and lose myself in Supernatural and a couple of films.

I will read your messages and tags later folks I just haven't the head for it now sorry. Love to you all. ☺

Oh Dodo, sorry to hear what's going on with your son. I do agree that alcohol comes with many regrets the next morning. After all it is a drug of choice. I fully understand what this does to you. I am glad to hear that you have had a few good days of eating and drinking. You so need it.

You need to take care both physically and emotionally and I'm glad you are using the late evening to relax and lose yourself in a good movie. Put the day behind you.

Hi my son is 30 and.a drinker but I have no probs wiv him as I dont drink myself I wonder what all the fuss is lol it tastes foul

Dodo, just change it to "my daughter's behavior" and we are identical with our stress levels. My daughter's drug of choice is laxatives, water pills and excessive tanning now added to it. Where does this all end? What do we do to keep our anxiety contained when it involves a love one. Dodo, I pray that we both get the strength to go through each day and not lose ourselves along the way. I needed to share, you're not alone. x

I try and think he's old enough to know what he's doing but I know he's missing a few fuses somewhere in his brain. He needs help but he puts on this front thats fooling the system many just dont care amnd just want the easy cases. I just hope nobody including myself dont pay the ultimate price while he TRIES to get himself together. I have a few of my valium here for him. I offered them to him last night I fell asleep he text me from his bedroom he wanted them now he's out somewhere i hope he's ok and I will give them when he comes home.

Hope your coping I just finished meditating feel a bit better bye for now c.

Hello Dodo

So sorry you are in so much pain worrying over your Son

I have to say the black and white image of an alcoholic is that they drink everyday where it actually is not , there are also the alcoholics that are binge drinkers which when they so have a drink it creates problems and I agree it very much sounds like your Son in one way or another is self medicating and this must really be painful to watch , but other than been there , hinting where ever you can I am not sure what you can do ( which is not much help )

I agree with you also and I get really sick that the only time help is available is when things are that near the edge there maybe no coming back , I think it is a disgrace and so much more still needs to be done about this , I was only having a conversation on this subject with someone the other day

Are there any support groups AA maybe , would your Son consider even if he believes he does not have a problem there is no harm going along and listening to others

I so wish I could be more help , please take care of you and stay strong knowing you are doing all you can

Take Care x
