Thank you for sharing this... I have a friend who is in recovery at this very moment and I spoke with his dad tonight and told him about this website.. (I found you all about a week ago) anyway I told him there were moms, dads, brothers, sisters, girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, husbands as well as that recovering addict. It is so great to read this and see in your words the relationship that you and he share. Warms my heart
