| A little about me: | Mother of a 23 year old heroin addict. Supporter of my crazy "rescue ferrets", who make me laugh even when I don't want to. |

 | Thanks so much! I'm going to learn a lot from you, and I appreciate that. |
| I also have a granddaughter who is a heroin addict living on the streets of Baltimore Md. She was with me for a year doing well and is now gone again. She wants to come back I said no. My heart is broken. |
| Shari ...thank you for your time and support ~ I have read your diary ... I am so sorry for your suffering .. I know I am not supposed to ask Why of God .. but I still do .. why ? why ? when you thought you had done everything right .. did we lose them ? maybe someday we will understand .. I will keep you in my prayers because a three braided cord is not easily broken and we are much more than three! |

My Diary
The Happy Girl.
Here I am in a support group (first ever), and I find that odd. I have traveled a very long road to get here. Couldn't wait to get married at 18 (lol, that was smart). Had a daughter and a son and then after 15 years of marriage, realized I'd married a lush. Divorced, and never remarried, raised my beautiful kids on my own, bought a house, got all my pets from rescues, and worked... Started out at a phone company and was an operator....worked up, and up and up, until I finally managed to claw myself into the male dominated World of Outside Technicians and Cable Splicing. Here I am. I have had many losses in my life, due to accidents, heart disease, and recently my Father to old age. I have lost many friends, and most of my family along this winding, bumpy road called life. Somehow I have always managed to pick myself up, dust myself off and keep going forward, during these times of great sorrow and loss. I have been planning everything on next year when I can finally retire, at a young age, and was planning on chucking it all, house, most of my belongings and going off to palm tree's and adventure. And, now the rug got pulled out from my feet once again. My son, is a heroin addict. He has disappeared after cleaning out my entire house and safe, and pawning all of my items. I bought most of them back, and am utterly heartbroken, that he has disappeared and is gone. My daughter is in constant tears, and very depressed. I have always been such a happy girl, and not let much get me down, but this I believe will be one of my greatest challenges for me to conquer. I am here to learn, gain understanding about heroin addictions, and to hopefully gain knowledge and lend a should for others to cry on. The Happy Girl, though, is missing at the moment and I hope that again, I can laugh, instead of cry.
