How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

Recently at my son’s graduation party I organized catering and a wet bar. I noticed my son frequenting the wet bar a great deal and got from the barman that he had the equivalent of 30 ounces of hard alcohol. And yet when I spoke to him he was none the worse for wear but had a certain “lit” look. Later in the evening I saw him polish off a 1982 Dom Perignon, which is a $2000 bottle. Followed by drinking the crudest Macedonian red. All the time he was smoking. My concern is that he may have inherited my alcoholism. I was a confirmed alcoholic from about the age of 30 to 45. I stopped one day because I simply lost the taste. No AA. No religious conversions. But I feared my offspring would inherit my ravenous taste for booze. I am not sure whether this means anything but my wife found 24 empty bottles of Absolut in his closet. Is he collecting these for recycling or is there some personal consumption issue going on?

Please help, I am running out of time. My son is 18. He got a DWI while living with his father, he didn’t even have his DL yet. He stole my car while visiting and ran it in the ditch with a .234 BAC. He decided to come home and stay with me so he can get a job, get clean from marijuana and get his life together. He loves and worries about his dad who is a functional alcoholic. His dad is working nights and in order to see him at all he has to go to bar in the morning to visit before he goes home to sleep it off and go to work that night. His step mom condones this behavior. I want to just get angry and tell my son no, but I don’t want to push him away. He has been home about a week and this is the first time he went to see his dad. It is not his fault his dad is that way and he wants to see him. How can I open his eyes and let him know he should not be anywhere near a bar while trying to clean up his on act and with pending court dates and fines. It hurts so bad and I try not to show him, but he knows. I want to help him SO badly.

My grown son is an alcoholic, his Dr. finally put him on antabuse. He was doing great BUT he found away around the antabuse. Yes he takes it every morning BUT through the Internet he found “helpful hints” on how to not get sick while drinking and taking the meds. I’m so angry at him and I’m just about at then end of my rope. I’m so afraid that this game he’s playing with the antabuse will cause him to have a heart attack or much worse. I guess I just need some advice.
Thanks

My son doesn’t have a job is living at home, I don’t pay his bills or buy his alcohol. I’ve told him he needs to get his self together or find some place else to live. Last night he told me he will be out of here in the morning I asked where he’s going says he doesn’t know. What am I to do??
I do tell my son that I will attend AA meetings with him. I also tell him I am always here to help and listen if and when he wants to talk.

His life is spiraling out of control. He does O.K. for awhile and then he relapses. He can’t focus on school, work, he gets very angry. He is going back to inpatient this week. Is there anything else that can help an alcoholic. I love him so much. It is like an aggressive cancer.

When they argue, it is in front of my grandson. My son is alcoholic & I have suggested my dau-in-law got to Al-Anon. I go when I can. She has not gone to date. She is an only child, very spoiled & her parents are alcohlic. Outside of moving out, don’t know what to do. Should I intervene for my grandson’s sake or just stay in my room and keep to myself? I am very stressed out over this. I fear they are hurting my grandson & know my own son needs help, but refuses to get it.
Any advice is appreciated.

I had my doubts that he was stealing beer from my house for about a 2 months, but once I found out for sure I banned any kind of alcohol in my house. Now he insists that I allow him to drink. What should I do? How can I keep him away from alcohol?

we are considering a business venture with an investment of $110,000. My husband wants to bring our alcoholic, yet functional son into the business. Son would be the full time mgr. He has no money to bring to the table. Husband would have all the final decision making capabilities but is somewhat an enabler and peace maker. Our son is difficult, headstrong and manipulative. I have reservations, but I am not sure I have my husbands ear. I am a recovering alcoholic myself so I know a thing or two about the mind of the alcoholic. Can someone give me some feedback about this situation?

What elders should I take him to? Is that something DCYF can help me with?

She calls, sends gifts. Even goes to church He’s 9 and does understand why grandma needs Hennesey for her nerves. She cries when he doesn’t come over to see him.And my son cries too what should I do?

My husband says he should stay with us because he thinks he will have no where else to go and also my husband tends to cater to him. I say he needs to work things out himself and find a friend to stay with that has the same life style he does.

Please help, this is serious.

He says, when he is intoxicated that he wants and needs help and is willing to go with me to get it. Then, the next morning, when he’s sober, he refuses.

I’m the mother of 4, never drank and always pounded it into my kids. I’ve lost 1 child, and another is a alcoholic and afraid of losing her
