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!

Who's in control?
I had always heard that men were fixers and that women were nurturers. I couldn't have been more wrong about myself. When addiction struck our home I went into full fixer mode. I wanted everything better and taken care of. Of course if our son went into rehab everything would be taken care of and we could get over this evil beast. I began to ride the emotional roller coaster and found myself emotionally wrung out. I have learned over the last year and a half that I have no control over anyone or anything. The only thing that I can control is myself and my own reactions to the life that I have been given.
