Pam,
I would think AA Meetings are available in your town. As I have mentioned in the past, my daughter's choice of drug was the cocaine; but in rehab they insisted she is also an alcoholic because often you will turn from one to the other.

She has been attending AA meetings since her recovery (several years ago) and continues to do so, often a few times a week. This is a lifelong commitment. She has even chaired some of the meetings. When she speaks she says my name is. S........ and I am a drug addict and an alcoholic.

Going to AA meetings with those dealing with their recovery could be of help to DB. At least it would be worth a try; maybe start out a few days a week.....There are "open" meetings where you would be able to attend. I, early on attended some of the "open" meetings with my daughter.

As always, prayers are ongoing daily.


Gerry
