I'd say AA was the priority and Al-Anon if you can fit it in. You're not going to be in a position to help your son if you're not helping yourself first. You know how in airplanes they always tell you to put your own oxygen mask on first before helping anyone else. That's the way I see it. If you show that you're dealing with your problem, by attending AA and not drinking, then that might help your son to get back on track.
