It's been over 13 years since I created this blog as an effort to learn more about addiction and find peace for myself during our son's addiction.
So much time has passed and things have changed so dramatically in our life. I'm sure or I hope you have read about our progress. The question that continually enters my mind is what has happened with all of those people and families that regularly read this blog so long ago? What about those that have only discovered this blog lately in a search for help with their own family issues?
Some of those long ago readers I am Facebook friends and hear of their life today. Some of the people like Barbara and Lea that read this and in turn I read their blogs have experienced tragic outcomes.
I would love to hear from everyone about their life, good, bad and ugly. Please share your successes and your tragedies.
The truth is that unfortunately this blog is still relevant. Blogs are not as popular today as they were in 2009 but I still get new readers and emails all the time from families struggling.
Your story may be the one that lights a candle in the dark for others in the world of loving a person struggling with addiction.
A simple phrase none of us have forgotten still rings true:
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
