if you are willing, if you can muster the courage, (and it really does NOT take that much when you finally make the decision and start action) if you make the decision to free yourself and save the life of your daughter by stepping out of this relationship with METH...

IF...

you will be simply AMAZED at the sense of lightness, freedom, energy, joy, LIFE, you and your daughter will begin to experience.

if you throw a frog in boiling water it will do everything it can to save its life.
if you put a frog in water and turn on the heat it will slowly rise to a boiling point and the frog does not feel the injury until it is too late...

many of us are like the second frog...the circumstances and conditions of our lives, living in relationship with addiction, are often so negative and damaging but we have been oh so slowly emerged...and we don't even have an idea of how hot the water is.

but once you make the action to get out? the transition period is so much faster than you can imagine. there are resources...financial, emotional, housing, support, recovery...all waiting for you. there are promises that you cannot imagine right now because you are surrounded by pain and steam

GET OUT OF THE BOILING POT!
