| A little about me: | My son, age 20, is a heroin addict. I'm struggling with the acceptance that my child will have to lead a lifetime battle to stay sober. I think i'm mourning for the loss of his life as I imagined it to be. I'm proud of him for attempting to recover, hoping that he can get and stay clean...but devastated that this is "his life now". |

My Diary
Focusing on Today
As the mother of a young addict (age 21) I find myself feeling a wide range of emotions, as I learn my role in his recovery process. I am scared, hurt, angry, overwhelmed, saddened, but PROUD that he is attempting to recover, at times I THINK he is...at other times, I'm really not so sure. Being the parent of a child with addiction issues is exhausting and like living on a rollercoaster ride.
