After 2 years of being on and off the streets, in and out of drug rehab programs, staying in hotels, getting car jacked, held up by gun point and losing his dog and personal belongings, my son is finally getting his life back to normal. He bought another car, he started working and had surgery on his shoulder that reinjured his tendons and is waiting to start a new higher paying job. I didn't think it was possible for him to start over with our help but I was wrong. Thankfully, he did all we asked of him and is over 3 months clean and sober.
All things are possible with God. I have found that without family behind the addict, recovery is almost impossible. If you are reading this and contemplating helping your loved one that is still in the streets, or addicted, please ask them to tell the truth about what they want, so that a new life can begin.
Church, fellowship and prayer are a must for recovery as well as supervision and a plan to get healed. The addict must be committed and must follow all agreements set forth. However, even though there may be setbacks, or mistakes along the way, that doesn't mean he or she isn't willing.
Just love them and see what God does.
