I am the mother of a son in recovery from meth addiction. I've spent many years working my own program of recovery (Al-Anon and Nar-Anon).

The best amends in the world (in my opinion) is a living amends. My son is sober. He is working his program, has a job, and is living in a sober house. I forgive him for all of the things he did during active addiction (and there were some doozies) and am just very grateful that he is living a productive life clean and sober. He is working a living amends and I prefer that over words or verbal apologies any day of the week. Hearing his voice, seeing him smile or laugh.......telling me about what's going on in his now very ordinary life......it's like a normal relationship. And I cherish that.

Keep taking care of you......
