Mandi,

I hope this is it for him. My son is in drug treatment right now + he entered the same week I started radiation - and I have other members of my family sober in AA for years - it works.

How did you keep from killing him when he continued drinking & smoking after the cancer diagnosis? I am not kidding. It must have been so unbelievably awful! I have told my husband I will leave him if he starts smoking again - I am not sure that I would, but I think he believes it.

You are still in for a hard time - I hope you can find a good Al-Anon group, they can really help you.

Love, Leena
