Huckster,
So sorry to hear of your troubles, my prayers are with you and your family. As far as posting here i am sure you are welcome , but they also have a room for friends and family of substance abusers, just go closer to the bottom of the page and use the forum jump scroll and it will be listed there
Take care , John

Yes you are in the right place. The site has helped me deal with alot of self doubt and trust issues. I am an addict and I also have an addict that I deal with everyday. You should see if there are any meeting for you to and talk to people in the situation as you are. I have found piece of mind with this site.
My prayers are with you and your loved ones. Keep posting or just reading what other people have posted.
