My heartfelt prayers to you today Betty. You are an inspiration to so many people on this board. I think your son was very blessed to have you for his mother and I am sure he is proud of you every day, seeing how far you have come in this program.

Dear Betty, I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose my son to death. I know that for a long time he was lost to me and I mourned because he was no longer the boy I raised.  He was deep into his additions and could no longer hear me. I reached out to Al-anon and found this site, and you. You were there for me and all others who were experiencing this deadly disease. And through the experience you gained immersing yourself into Al-anon to save your sanity, and in spite of your emotions and even through your grief and sadness you shared with us unselfishly. I couldnt have made it through these last 3 yrs with out your understanding, compassion and wisdom, thank you Betty   linsc

I understand your pain completely, as I lost my oldest 18 yrs ago next month. Still not understanding but getting better at getting through each day.
