I completely agree with Madisgram. Being an adult child of alcoholic parents I have gone to Al-Anon and it helped me immensely!! I found out that I was NOT responsible for my parents, and I did NOT have to look after them or rescue them if/when they got into trouble. By doing that, I would be enabling them. THEY are responsible for themselves, and if they got picked up, I'd be doing them a FAVOR by leaving them in jail !! My son is also an alcoholic, and I will NOT bail him out either. He will just have to stay there.
I'm a recovering alcoholic myself -- and I would have expected the same treatment. No one poured the booze down MY throat. I did it all by myself. If I was dumb enough to get myself in jams, then it was up to me to face the music. Plus I have NO RIGHT to take my misery out on anyone else. Thank God I saw the light and got sober.
Please -- ALL of you need to get some help. Do it as soon as you can before more damage is done to the family. God bless. Hugs, Lee
