I am so sorry that you have had to go through this experience. If it helps, I did the exact same thing at his age. Only did it once. Never again. Now I don't drink at all.
My job is working with people with an ABI from AOD. I think that might be what LMS is referring to.
Oh Dianne Teenagers are hell aren't they. DD1 was drinking at 13 (we found out later) but at least your son is very sorry and I doubt if he will be so eager to have another one (at least not soon lol) He is a sensible boy so just talk to him and hopefully he really means it when he says "sorry"
I couldn't be more proud of DS16 right now. Last night he went to a party, he told me there will be alcohol but he wouldn't drink and for me not to worry. He had some strategies in place in case he felt pressured. I had another talk with him, not to accept drinks that others give him and if he does drink to please drink in moderation ect. I waited up until he got home at 11.00 p.m and he arrived sober .
Dianne - that is good to hear. I always did get the impression that your DS had a good head on his shoulders. I'm not saying that he won't experiment again but at least when he told you about his plans for attending this party he kept his word - he was honest with you and respected himself. I bet you slept well last night.
I did sleep very well, thank you ladies. I told him how proud I am and he laughed and said "I told you not to worry", he told me he did drink but only had one. It's a good feeling too that he was honest with us and kept his word.
