Hi everyone. It’s been ten months since my son passed away from an accidental overdose of heroin. We are trying to cope and find peace somehow. But I just wondered if anyone could explain to me what addiction is like? I still can’t believe that after 3 years my son chose to use again. It’s just...

Most of you have read my journey from several years ago. It’s been the hardest experience of my life. And then he got better God rescued him and he was a healthy Marine Sniper, bodybuilder had many girlfriends, friends that loved him and a family who adored him. But last month he showed up to a...

It’s been a long while and I was thinking of you all. My son is doing absolutely amazing. Still serving in the military and has had two successful deployments. Seems like so long ago I came here for help and you all rescued me. I’ll never forget that experience and I often share with others...

Hello good people, I couldn't help but share the last few weeks and my feelings with you all since you've been through so much pain, misery & joy with me. Three weeks ago, we started to see our son slipping somewhat. His girlfriend said he was hanging with some old friends. We called him and he...

Hey all, Just wanna share my joy with each of you! Last year at this time, our son was skin & bones, injecting heroin into his veins, stealing, homeless & hopeless. Our hearts were shattered and our hopes and dreams for our athletic, handsome & charismatic son were slipping far far from ever...

Hey all. My son will graduate this August from one year of sobriety in his men's home. He's very excited and anxious to start living his life. We are so happy for this wonderful transformation. He will continue to live in the home and begin working 3 days a week as a transition and then...

After 9 months living drug-free in a men's christian home, my son is ready to move on to the next chapter in his life. He has grown a lot, but I still think he's a little immature. My question to you all is, what next? You see, I don't want him to come home, since home never worked out in the...

Hey good friends, My last post I was complaining that my son was appearing to be falling again. He did choose to use some pain pills while still in the men's home telling us that it was a one time slip up. Fast forward a week or two and he was shipped off to another home for discipline. Well...

Hey gang, I'm usually on here for a much deeper and depressing issue of my son. But lately my daughter is giving me a bit of attitude so I thought I would check in with my wise friends here. She's a good kid, doesn't use drugs or any of that, occasionally will have drinks with friends but...

Hi all, It's been a while since I last wrote. He's been in the men's home for 182 days as of today. I really thought he was on track this time and even had a great plan to go in the Military in the next couple of months. Well, yesterday the man who runs the home, called my husband and said...

Hi kind people! I just wanted to give an update bc all of you have been so good to me in my time of need. My son is doing amazing! He's changed so much and today I received a letter that had me in tears as I read it. He said he realized that he was given so much and took it for granted and...

Hello good people, As you know my son has been relapsing, living with his girlfriend and somehow functioning. Yesterday his girlfriend told us he took her iPhone 6 and left as she was showering. He then would not take her calls. Long story short, he's back to stealing again and from the one person...

Our suspicions have been confirmed. Our son is using heroin again. His girlfriend caught him last week. At first he denied and then admitted he "slipped up" a few times. We are so so soooooo disappointed. Now he says it kills him that his stupid decisions affect the ones he loves most and it's the last...

Hi all. Since we kicked our son out the last time for using he's been working and living with his girlfriend. He comes over for holidays, birthdays or whenever we invite him. Sometimes he comes over to do laundry, but lately he must be doing it elsewhere. I encouraged his dad to spend time...

Hi dear people, I sadly am here to report to you that my son, after seeming to be so clean, healthy, working, focused, everything.... has relapsed. My daughter found a burnt spoon in the bathroom this morning. I am devastated and so hurt! I can't believe that it only took him 7 days to...
