PLEASE go to AA first. You have to help YOURSELF before you can help anyone else. And you can't do it while you're drinking.

Right now your first concern should be about yourself. You deserve a good life, and AA can help you get it back. Alcoholism is a disease, so treat it as if you had diabetes or something -- if you were sick, you'd go to the doctor. Well, think of AA as the doctor -- they'll help you get well, IF you're willing.

After you have some time under your belt, go to Al-Anon. But first take care of you. By watching YOU get sober, your son will have a better chance of staying sober.

God bless & let us know what happens. Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!
