Why Don't They JUST QUIT? Quotes

“am an Addict’s Mom. I am an Addict’s Mom. I stand before you able to state without hesitation that Yes, I am an addict’s mom. I have learned to look past those judgmental stares, sensing what you are thinking, that I must be “one of those Moms.” That somewhere, somehow, I made some horrific choices that sent my child into the depths of hell. I am here to tell you that the choices my child made are his own and his alone. This nightmare is far from what I wanted for my child. Just like everyone with children, there were big dreams and hopes for my child.”
