Addiction

I work as a manager in a womens refuge,some of whom suffer from alchohol abuse or who have partners who suffer from the same.I have suffered abuse myself in the past,and am passsionate about helping men and women break the cycle.my son is currently in the grip of addiction and i know its a direct result of the abuse we all suffered at the hands of his father who himself had a drink problem .Other than that im a happy optimistic type of lady,with many good friends and a loving and supportive family.Im already a member of o.c.d. tribe and find support there so am hoping for the same here,as i feel gavins problems are intensified because of drink,he lives and breathes the escape it offers.Help me to help him,please!

crying with frustration because my son gavin is in the grip of alcholism and o.c.d. and changing before my eyes from a lovely person into an abusive drunk who i love dearly but feel like shaking,when i cant help him to help himself.
