If you give up, they give up. You have to fight the addiction. It's not easy. But a good fight wins. I know, I fought for twenty years but I finally won. Clean and sober for 18 years now. Don't give up.

I am 58 yrs old. My son will be 33 in April. He disowned me and the time has now come for me to call him to pick me up cuz I am ready for rehab. Trials & tribulations, ups & downs, feeling bad about myself for so long. Thank God, the medical profession now offers a shot to relieve opioid addiction, yet I still have to have the need to stay away from drugs, all drugs. I just found a really nice place that I am only going to go Once in my lifetime and the place accepts medi-cal! I am so looking forward to re-establishing my relationship with my son and myself.

even if he does change. he won't be the same person you once knew unfortunately. the sad truth about growth is if you want to get out of active addiction you have to be willing to sacrifice the old parts of you. so you can be something better

Change is possible. My son is proof. I'm so proud of him. My daughter was on her way home clean and the dealers thought she would narc and murdered her. She just wanted to be free and now she truly is.

It can be really hard for someone that has not experienced addiction to grasp how much of a hold it can have on you but We Can Change.... it can be a hard and long road but there's a glimmer of hope in the darkness for all of us no matter how dim it can shine as bright the Sun☀️. For anyone who knows the struggle I believe in you!!

I still have to make my change for my family but if you give a man a chance a man can do great things

It’s like watching a video of myself. My heart goes out to all the wife’s, mothers, fathers, all family that has been affected by someone’s drug use. I was so blessed that my wife and family didn’t give up on me. Now I just have to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to them.

I've been in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous since 1973. Sometimes, surprisingly to many, the ones you think are are most likely not to make it, do make it. Never ever give up hope. Miracles do happen.

recovering is not about being strong or about will, the power to or not. it's about a complete change change of everything. After living what I thought was a regular life I became addicted to freebase, crack cocaine and heroin. Now I have been recovering for years. The life I had before when I was working had a family husband and children became broken because of the things that were in my past. I was told to do it for my children, there is no such thing, you must do it for yourself and then your children will absolutely benefit from it. Also you do become a new person ideas attitudes and behaviors change sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly but when it happens it's beautiful. So for all of us who are recovering one day at a time love you

if you were around him and you stay around him long enough you're going to become what is known as an enabler which means you're going to be funding his addiction and watch him deteriorate and die if you don't believe he's going to change oh he's going to change drug use will change you it's just when you stop is when you grow up but obviously he has no desire to grow up so you have to make a choice either you grow up or you grow broke think about it

almost a year clean from meth! I finally pulled my head out of my ass and got clean. I'm now a manager at a retail store and finally a great husband and dad. I don't go anywhere but work and home and hangout with the family.

I'm living proof that you can change. doesn't mean you can do it alone. only a rare few can claim that honor. most of us, just like me, can change with determination, decision, and the right support. you can do this

He will change when he hits so low and he is ready to change. You can't change him he has to do it for himself. I have been sober for 20 years. I can only tell part of my story. 😊
