    Alcohol and drug son
    My son is almost 30 years old has 3 beautiful children and a woman who has put up with him for almost 8 years. He has moved out of the house and is with a woman who is doing drugs, I believe he is now doing drugs also and he is an alcoholic, he drinks to excess every single day. I would like to help him get sober and clean, I don't know how to start, any help would be great.

    You have to start educating yourself... get to a 12 Step Program, probably AlAnon so you are able to strengthen yourself, learn how addicts manipulate others, then, how you should treat them.

    Only an alcoholic can change himself. Others around him help him by having a backbone.

    Best wishes in 2008,
