What to do now? Son relapsed after rehab
I have a 37 year old son, who has struggled with Alcohol and Xanax for 10+ years, or more. Presently unemployed, as he cannot hold a job. Has been in rehab twice. Both short term, but successful when he sticks to it. Relapsed 4 months ago, and refuses any help. We are at our wits end. We are beginning to feel despair, depressed, and desperate. Where do we turn, or what can we try?

I had to check that this is Michael88 with whom we all have been corresponding for the last few days. Michael, it breaks my heart that you have lost your son despite all your efforts and all the love in your heart. Alcoholism and drug addiction are two of the most evil things on Earth. You did everything you could. for your son. Thank God you had your son for as long as you did and were able to share your lives. Time to heal and live a good future. Grieve, and then start rebuilding your own world.
