I will be praying for your son knowing God can deliver him from drinking.....I find it amazing how much God loves us right where we are.....I pray your son realizes the love of God and calls on Him for help....I will also keep you in my prayers.....looking forward to hearing a good praise report....Gods blessings to you and your son.....Janet

Alice, of coarse - a prayer has been said for your son - if he wants to quit - he will need more than his self will to do so - he needs to reache out to God and ask for help as well as asking for help from another that has been in the same situation. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it. *4U

Alice I will do that. Hugs for you. It is hard to see ones child suffer and that he is. Addiction is aweful. I will keep him in my prayers and you too.

Have already put his name before God - I sympathise with you Alice - love and blessings Chris

Alice will do. Its hard for a mom to see their child destroy themselves. We deal with it with my husband's oldest and it just rips our heart out to see the devastation that alcohol and drugs do. They think they can quit anytime but by then it's gotten a hold of them. But Christ is a deliverer! I've seen Him deliver many out of the bondage that holds ppl down. Will keep your son and you and the family in prayer. Stay encouraged God is our strength. Hugs, Terre

Alice, I am so sorry to hear about your son. Alcohol is a terrible thing. I have 2 members of my family who are dry alcoholics and I know how terribly hard this can be on the people who love and care for them. Only he will know when it is time to stop. I am sending you a PM.
Many hugs Sarah.

Alice, I am so sorry to read this. Will keep you and your son in my prayers. - hugs Yvonne

So sorry to hear this Alice, addictions are hard to beat. I know a couple of others who are struggling with the same problem. Hearts out to you and him.

Oh, Alice, I will pray earnestly! My uncles have this problem and a nephew on the other side, so I know that once you wake up this monster, you have to spend the rest of your life fighting it. I pray that he is in AA or some support group, because I don't think this is something that can be done alone. Assure him that God loves him and that he is waiting for him....

Will pray for him/

Prayers going out for you and him. My son in law is an alcoholic, has been sober for 10 years now, but the only way it happened was for him to surround himself with people who had beat it. His recovery began the day he walked into his first AA meeting. It is the only way he will get sober and stay sober. The sooner he goes and gets himself a sponsor the better. He will not be able to do it without one.

Our prayers are going up for your son and all of your family at this time. My father died from liver failure after years of alcoholism; it is a terrible way to die. AA meetings are really a great help; urge him to get into a group. Of course, you're a nurse, and you know all the "facts"; but, when it's your own family member, it is so very hard. Just know that you are loved and prayed for by people around the globe.
Blessings,
Diane

It is going to take all of his will power to stay away from the alcohol. Will also help for him to have different friends that don't encourage drinking if that is possible. Will pray that he is strong enough to avoid a relapse episode.

Consider it done...........when one has an addictive personality whatever the addiction, it becomes a lifetime struggle.....unfortunately, Alice, it also becomes a family affair affecting everyone......therefore I will pray for your whole family to have the strength to get through this and come out on the other side stronger than ever!!! Hugs........Vicki
