Dawn

I lost my sister at the age of 45 to the disease of alcoholism and my son has struggled in his own personal hell for 20 years fighting a substance use disorder....this pandemic unemployment money is not helping these who need help with this disease....my son is the best son a mother could ever ask for and we love each other more than anything...but love isn't keeping him safe and healthy right now....please keep him and all those out there fighting in your prayers....pray they beat the demons they fight everyday! Pray they all decide to do what they need to do to recover from this disease so eventually they come home someday

My son has been struggling with the disease of drug addiction...yes this is a disease... My sister and my son would never have chosen the life they led due to their DISEASE could they have simply put on their big boy or big girls panties and just stopped what the disease was doing to them and those who love them....

Never give up...Never stop believing! What are we if we give up hope? What are we to believe if brothers in a fellowship dont support us when we fall? What are we if we stop believing in ourselves and our loved ones who suffer from this disease? My son has a purpose on this earth...he will someday beat this disease even if it takes 59 attempts....till then he has unfinished business and your prayers and support yesterday gave him self worth and thus his bridge to faith in God and his recovery......if nothing else my son keeps trying thank you all for your prayers!

Today my son is in recovery he has 45 days of sobriety and hopefully many more to go..... for the first time in years he told me the other day "Mom I'm happy"
