My thoughts lie with you and how you are coping.Maybe for you an al-anon program might help you also deal with your son's issues. He is not a child anymore and needs to take responsibility no matter how hard it is.

As a mom, I know its hard. I have two children that have alcohol issues and one of those also does drugs. She is also bi-polar. I had to set up good boundries in dealing with both my children. The help and support I received came from Al-anon. I still use its literature etc to help me. I attended meetings for a long time and only survived thru the program.

Its so important that you take care of yourself thru this.
