New Here, just saying hello...

Hello all,
Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jermiah, I have lost a number of friends and family to perscription narcotics. Today my sister - in - law overdosed on oxycontin and was rushed to the hospital. I will be doing much reading into what I can do to help my sister recover and to try and acquire an understanding on how the mind of an addict works.
I consider myself lucky to have found this forum and from many of the posts I have read, I feel I have come to the right place.

Thanks in advance to all of you who have shared your stories and thanks in advance to those who may help me in the future. I pray that one day I am able to return the favor.
thanks...

Welcome - good to have you! I'm sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. Living with addiction is very painful for everyone involved. Hugs and prayers going out to you and your family.....:ghug3
