I was on this forum for about 2 weeks when the first passing was shared - then another and another and yet another - so many of you are so good at reaching out to people with your words - I read your messages and I am comforted and inspired even though you are not talking to me - thank you for the comfort you can give - I pray daily for all those who have lost loved ones to this horrible insanity we call addiction - it is bad enough to live with the chaos of addiction even in a detached position - but at least while your loved one is still breathing there is always hope - my son is locked up right now and i am thankful each morning that i know where he is and that he is safe and sober at least for this day -
