It is an outrage to me that the general population believes that drug addicts have no place here except prison. How tragic for mothers and children who lose a child or parent to drugs.
As a successful, single mother of two, I never thought I would be an addict. That is a journey I thought I would never take, but I did.
I hear stories of families who give up on a family and it makes me so sad and even angry. How do they give up on someone they love?
I have a brother who refused to give up on me. He searched for weeks to find a rehab that would work for me and finally found it. His diligence saved my life. Without him I would have surely ended up in prison or dead.
Because of what happened to me he will help you too. You can call him at 866-648-7609. He helps moms and dads and their children and even little sisters, and he does it for free because he likes being my hero. He says I am his angel. Imagine that, an addict turned angel.
Anything is possible if you don't give up hope.
