Real, everyday people, admitting addiction and all the heartache that goes with it, is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing this. I hope others find what they need from this message.
ReplyDeleteKudo's to both for sharing their story. That's real strength of character.
ReplyDeleteMy heart really goes out to the Dad for being strong and loving with his son. I know it couldn't have been easy. Perseverance does pay off and this is a prime example of it.
ReplyDeleteFamily is vital to the recovery of addicts. Tough love is necessary, but you have to know when to become supportive again. This father found that balance.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to know that you can come back from meth. I have a daughter who is an addict and I worry about her constantly. I never see her unless she needs money. It's heart breaking.
