I am so sorry for what your going through this with your son. But there is only so much you can do if he is not willing to help himself.

Have you looked into Al-Alon? It is for family members / freinds who are dealing with love ones who have addition problems.

I didn’t give enough information the sad thing is everybody says he doesn’t want help he wants help he’s at Our state Cumberland county jail that won’t let him call anybody to say yes I’m on the waiting list etc. I’ve put so much money on the account but the way things work you can’t call out like that long story short the last three years that I had him sober for a little little bit of him begging for my help he begged and begged and begged and bagged for me to help him get somewhere I tried so hard in Maine nobody nobody can help us

But thank you so much for reaching out and by all means you have no reason to apologize I haven’t skipped a beat to change places with him🙏

Yes! 12-Step programs are the key to self-healing of any illness, especially a mental/spiritual illness. Personal calls from Dr. Paul of the Big Book, Dr. Abraham Twerski, a Chabad rabbi/psychiatrist, & founder of Aliquippa Rehab. Center, & cancer surgeon Dr. Bernie Siegel all vouch for the integrative healing that we can bring about for ourselves through daily practice of the 12 Steps. So far, I am a 51-year cancer survivor, am practically off all psychiatric meds. over a 6-7 process, take less medication over all at age 75 than when I was diagnosed bipolar 30 years before. This is all a product of my stepwork, meetings, & dependency on 12 Steps & God. You go, girl! You can reach your goal, one day at a time with patience & partnership with a spiritually attuned practitioner. Hugs, Trudy
