Turning 50... and drowning in debt beer and cocaine

I WATCHED the YouTube video with your son, talking about his recovery from drugs, and felt I had to contact you. I'm soon to turn 50 and struggling.

I've always had drink and drug issues but they used to be a weekend binge thing.

I have two wonderful children aged 25 and 30 and I'm single now.

I was in an abusive relationship, then I met a man I thought was my true love. But I found out he was doing crack and he was jailed for robbery. This was 10 years ago. Still, I was doing well and started a house cleaning business.

Then I started drinking too much during Covid and last year I admitted to my daughter I thought I was an alcoholic.

My son took me to AA, but I hated the meetings.
