Take care of yourself!!!

[u/Optimal_Life_1259]

Hi everybody, I am a mother of an addict and wanted to give some unsolicited advice. My son has been an addict and homeless off and on for over 20 years. He about burnt every bridge he had. Luckily someone went to go look for him and found him. I have not seen him in over a year. He was very very ill. People! Please take care of yourself even if you’re an addict I know that sounds contradictive. But if you are starting to go blind or something is really wrong you need to take care of yourself and seek treatment!! Your family and friends expect you to take care of yourself, even if they don’t say so. The doctor said he was on death door. Literally. Please, please take care of yourselves!

God I am so sorry. Have you tried Al-Anon?
