My older boy's drinking is frightening me. He's drinking whiskey and brandy in large quantities on what appears to be a daily basis. I've told him he needs to quit but it goes in one year and out the other. He's still got 9 months before he's legally allowed to drink. I don't buy stuff for him, or let him drink freely; but I also don't (and can't) breathe down his back to make sure he isn't. He does not take the booze we have here.
He's told me he'll probably quit when he turns 21. I'd love to believe that; but I can't help thinking he may become addicted before that day ever comes, if he isn't already.
So I think I'd like to try something like Al-Anon, if it isn't a jesus-loves-me type of organization.
Please share your experiences with Al-Anon and other self-help and support organizations.
