(((sjr))) - kindeyes could not have said it better and i concur completely with her - finding comfort and strength in powerlessness is just another of the paradoxical elements of this addiction scenario - prayers for all involved continue constantly - just in this one thread a broad spectrum is represented - one mother whose child lost the fight - one mother whose child is choosing to fight - one mother whose child is lost in the addiction - one mother whose child is locked up (safe and sober, but sill locked away) because of his addiction - and there are many more situations each unique in detail but common in the bottom line - drugs are misery for everyone but each breath is the essence of hope -
