Addiction UPDATE

As many of you know our family suffers with constant and continual fear. The fear is real and horrifying, with the ramifications of the aftermath having the potential to be nothing short of complete devastation. Its a monster that could rear it ugly head at ANY given day or hour. This monster is know as Addiction. It effects our son who is otherwise a normal functioning individual who was once a superstar athlete as well as an honor student in the not so distant past.

This is what I live by

How have things been? 
Lots of people who care and love us and him always ask as i'm sure many of you wonder. This is a question that is a tough one to answer. Right now, at this moment things seem to be fairly calm. Good?
 No, I wouldn't say good, as that is a word is reserved for a time, hopefully in the future, when I can say with certainly that things are good. A time when any remains of the addition are long in the past with the clouds gone and the sun shining consecutively for some time. A time that when if we haven't heard from our son for a day doesn't lead to our minds wondering to crazy scary thoughts immediately. A time when an unknown local number calling doesn't sink our heart to our feet. OR when the stress of all the stress leads to short tempers between family members!

We live in constant fear..as we continue to pray! Meanwhile our marriage and family are along for the bumpy ride they call Addiction and I call pure and simple HELL!!!
