After my son died from addiction

Revisado: 11-10-23

I had heard about this book mostly related to others in Al anon who read it after divorce or death of a spouse. I thought I’d never need it until my son passed from an accidental overdose. Faced with grief and 8 years of the program under my belt, I set out on a journey to take time and grieve in my own way and at my own pace. The first thing that struck me while reading was that my grief started many years ago when it became apparent that my dreams for his normal life and my expectations of how our family would grow and socialize together were never going to be what I dreamed. Over time my dreams changed to hoping he could maintain sobriety, a job and a relationship with his fiancée which was true and they were married. It lasted 3 months when he relapsed entered detox and rehab again and those dreams were put back on hold but still within reach. He deteriorated quickly then recovered for a few weeks or a month then repeated the cycle. My dreams changed again that he would just be sober, then again that he would be alive tomorrow and that dream ended just 10 months after their wedding day. I miss him dearly, still with the help
Of Alanon and my Alanon family I am surviving one day at a time. I hope the same for you, whatever it is you’re have lost.
