[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the helpful PPs.

As far as rehab not working - maybe you've never been if you think it's an easy fix. I went to one of the better places on the East Coast, but it's very 12-step (aka AA) oriented, which has a 5-10% chance of success.

To the posted that asked why I have kids if I'm an alcoholic? The proper term is Alcohol Use Disorder. It's a condition, like cancer or diabetes. My son is in his teens and I developed it later, due to multiple causes including trauma. I'm working on it. Why did you have kids if you're going to be a judgmental prick?

[b]I have people I can call and I can log into a SMART recovery meeting.[/b] Thanks for those of you who are kind. I wouldn't wish this on anyone - the guilt and shame is tremendous. [/quote]

So why didn't you do that instead of coming on DCUM? I may sound mean, but alcoholism is a thing in my family and I  can recognize the punting, excuse-making a pity seeking a mile away.  If you were serious about this, you would have called those supports, not to DCUM for a "woe is me party"

And if he isn't already get your kid in some kind of therapy. I hope your son knows he can tell another trusted adult in his life about your drinking and that he doesn't have to hide it for you.[/quote]
