  Good Tuesday Morning Everyone,

Today I am SO grateful for a program called Teen Challenge.   If you read my daily posts then you have heard of this program.    It is not a program just for Teens but for aduts up to 65 + yrs old that have addiction problems....either from drugs, alcohol, sexual, or even food addictions.    My 26 yr. old son has been in this program for almost 9 months now.    I am SO VERY VERY grateful for this program.   My son was adopted at birth from drug addict parents.    He told us 10 months ago that he had been a heron addict for over 5 yrs.    I am SO grateful to report that thanks to Teen Challenge my son is drug free and a totally different man today.   I am SO grateful to this program that has a 90 - 95 % success rate for the ones who complete the 12 month program and graduate.    My son is scheduled to graduate the program in early August.   I am going to be attending a Teen Challenge banquet where he is on Thursday night of this week and going to get to spend 8 hours with him on friday.   I am SO grateful that there is HOPE from addictions of ALL kinds.....I know that is not a easy task becoming a free person from our addiction of choice.    I am SO grateful that God blessed  my family with my precious 26 yr. old son and I am grateful for the future that he will now have.   PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for.   Have a wonderful day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

That's so wonderful! Congratulations!! I had to deal with a close family member and her heroin addiction a couple years ago. It was very difficult--I can't imagine it being my child. You've got some strength.

I'm grateful today that the scale moved. 1.4 lbs away from Onederland. Hope to be celebrating by Friday!

 It's really tough Charlie seeing your child come down off that stuff and thinking you could go into their room and find them dead from coming down off it.   Thank GOD though he is free from that addiction and I believe he will NEVER return to it.   Life is good for him today.    I will believe with you that you will be in Onederland on friday.    I'll take my computer on my trip and check on the MB on friday to see if it happened.    Thanks for your response today.   Have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
