Welcome To My Blog Site

The only real constant for this blog will be that you will not find constant.  This is my way of finding an outlet for the rollercoaster of emotions that happens when you are a mother of an addict.  I needed a place to share the anger, sadness, disappointment; the highs, the lows and all the in-betweens, all without being judged.   I am a person with many different ways of coping—I pray, I cry, I cuss, I talk, I don’t talk; I read, I journal and I share my situation without shame.  I am not ashamed of my son or his disease of addiction, nor the many ways I choose to deal with it all.  I don’t blame myself or feel sorry for myself.  I worry constantly and never really rest.  Sometimes I’ll share scripture that has brought me peace in the moment; other times you will find anger-fueled discussion that means I just needed to vent.

In the midst of it all, I hope that SOMETHING said or shared here will help another mother, father, loved one of an addict feel like they’re not alone in their feelings.
