To all the parents and loved ones who have someone still out there I wanna say; never give up hope, your kid or whoever is still savable but they gotta want
it; I am proof ( although never out of woods ) that anyone can clean up and choose a different path. I have 63 days clean from meth and although I miss and
sometimes wanna go back to it I know it destroyed me and hurt my family so much. To see my close friend( who I view as a dad as I do not have one ) sob after
my last relapse after I walked in the front door beat up but alive hurt me so bad; when we are out there using we do not think of anything but those evild rugs
and the next hit..that is all that matters when this drug has got you.. If someone wants to be clean and stop living like the walking dead then can- just do
not let them call the shots; tell them that the only call you will talk is the one to take them to treatment.

Robby, it's beautiful to see YOU emerging. It's so cool to get to know YOU. The world missed YOU, I know.
It's like meeting a special secret that's been hiding.... what a treasure your 63 days clean is exposing. Now That Gives Me Hope for every addict still suffering. I hope you can see and feel the life bursting out of you free life no more slavery to meth luv |

The only person who can save anyone is the person who needs the saving.
Wanting it...needing it deep in the soul...reaching for all that is attainable. Fighting for what is entitled, a birthright. Recovery is an inside job...the rest of us, family, friends, are simple the cheering section, support for the front lines. We learn through experience, both joyful and painful. Lessons so dear and hard won. 'There is life, there is hope...and the night is always darkest before the dawn. And there is always tomorrow yet to come...a tomorrow that is always there and never arriving...but offers the hope of a new day. Sixty three days, and life begins once again. |

Robbie, Thanks for your kind words, I am one of those Moms who held on for so long, but one day realized that I could still love my child, but
also needed to do it from far away. My daughter is clean now, but is still a child in her head and so we are waiting for her to grow up now. She is living with
us again with her little girl who is 9 months, she a cutie and we love her so much.
I will never give up, but I will not become the Mom sinking down in the dark hole again, Ma is right you have to want it yourself. I'm glad that you are doing so well Rob, feel free to stop by and post whenever you want in the family room, we would love to have you here. Love and Hugs Bobbie

Thank you for sharing, Robbie. I was afraid I would never see the day that my son would get clean and 'normal' again, but I am now seeing it. And
it's great. Stay clean!

I was 35 when I quit drinking. I still have time to make up some things to some people and have a great life. Yep, I wanted it.
