Hi Annie, It’s a lifelong struggle for everyone. My brother is doing OK now and has mastered a few stressful situations in the past month while staying dry. That is a first success.

We know that temptation is everywhere, especially when life circumstances change. Like in your son’s case.

But I have learned to live it. I am there whenever he needs me, and I will never judge him as much as it hurts me when he relapses.

There is nothing for us to do, nothing to prepare, nothing to teach. We are to embrace whatever happens.

Your son will grow with this situation. Because it is a path of growth!

Much love to you, Annie!
