FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Friday Everyone,

I am kinda sad today.   Today I have to return my son back to Teen Challenge.    I keep telling myself...4 more months and he will have completed his year long program tthere.    Today I am SO grateful for programs such as Teen Challenge who offers hope to ALL addicts of all sorts.    Thank you God for all the changes in his life.....I know that YOU and you ALONE are the reason for these amazing changes.    For you who have not heard....my 26 yr. old son has battled heron addiction for the past 5 yrs and has been a drug addictt since he was about 12 or 13.   He entered into Teen Challenge last August and has now been clean for 8 months.    He has gained over 40 lbs since he went into the program and when he gets out he will have a wonderful future awaiting him.   SO today I am grateful for Teen Challenge.   PLEASE keep me in your prayers today as I drive for about 12 hours taking him back to SA and back home.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for on this beautiful friday morning.    Have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

So glad to hear that he is doing so well! I have a similar story, I started using at a very young age as well and have been clean since 1994 and while it hasn't always been easy it does get better. With God I can do anything! 
Best of luck with your family, you will all be stronger!

 So glad You are doing well too.    I know that many people fall back into their addiction.    Hopefully my son will stay clean forever.

Prayers coming your way for being so strong and for your son for making the choice to live his life free and clean of drugs. I am sure you have not had an easy tme dealing with it all, but don't look back and look forward at new memories goinmg forward.
Keep your head up and stay strong for the both of you.

Thank you so much for your kind words.    No one knows what I have been through with my son.   But thank GOD....I think it is ALL over with the drug addiction.    

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
