Last week my 22 y o son was arrested for DWI. He blew over double the legal limit. Luckily there was no accident and no-one was hurt.

This is not his first episode with dangerous alcohol interactions. He nearly killed himself once in high school and again in college, from alcohol overdose. Although we strongly suggested it, he has not gone to an AA meeting this week nor has he taken initiative to get counseling.

Today I told him that he could not drive my car unless he attends 90 days of AA first or get counseling. He is very angry at me and is moving out. He is trying to blame me, and said that all summer long I made a bigger deal of his drinking than was necessary.

I have such trouble surrounding this. I am a co-dependent type trying to construct a boundary and this is really hard for me. But, I won't stand by and watch him kill himself or someone else. I grew up in an alcoholic family.

Am I doing the right thing? It feels like the right thing.
