March of 2010 began an incredible journey for our family. Our 17 year old son came and told us that he had a problem and he needed help. I never would have imagined in a million years what his problem was. He was addicted to heroin. Living in a small town and being a teacher and a pastor’s wife, I never would have been able to comprehend the journey that our family was about to begin. We have found that addiction is a lifelong problem for the entire family. Come join me!

The Beginning
Dan had just come back from a missions trip to Honduras with his Dad. He had had a great time and things seemed to be going in a great direction. I will never forget the night that Dan talked to me and told me that he had a problem and he needed help. When he told me that he was addicted to heroin I found myself in shock. I kept my cool and talked to him and asked important questions like how long and how much does it cost and how do you do it? I thought that heroin could only be injected. I had no idea that heroin could even been snorted. My learning curve went from 0 to a billion in a brief time. I remember that I asked Dan if he would be willing to be tested and evaluated and he said he would. He seemed broken and repented. I had no idea what the next couple of weeks would be like.
