A Message of Hope~
Every day I see extraordinary examples of love by ordinary parents. I see parents love when it is painful, love when they are angry. I see them loving fiercely with tears running down their cheeks. I also see them love when they are scared. I lie awake in fear too. But I also see the fruits of recovery. I see families transform into magnificent people and I get a glimpse at a larger picture. Then I question:
What if addiction isn’t a curse?
What if life in recovery isn’t a diminished life?
What if addiction is the catalyst for our children to live life with meaning, depth and humility?
Pushing through addiction and into recovery can be a unique launching pad towards an amazing functional adulthood. For those parents with fortitude, commitment and support, this journey called Recovery can be your prescription for living life with more meaning as well.
You are all in my thoughts.
