I am three months sober. How do I support my 11-year-old autistic son? | Ask Annalisa Barbieri

In this article, the author, a recovering alcoholic, seeks advice on how to support their 11-year-old autistic son after being sober for three months. The author's drinking had become heavy over the last two years, and their son had witnessed the author's out-of-control and unhappy state. The son had even tried to physically remove bottles to stop the author from drinking, which the author feels ashamed about. The author has emphasized to the son that the only person who can stop the drinking is the author themselves. The author's son's autism may make the situation even more challenging, and the author is looking for ways to show the son that things are better, rather than just telling him.
