Hope floats......
The last year has been difficult in an area of my life and today, actually, after a call last night, hope floats.
My son called from a treatment center. His voice is so telling of the results of any a little bit of clean time. He has been there eleven days and Tyler is back! Wow, it was so good to chat with him, even if for only a few moments.
Drugs suck ass, that's the simple of it. When those drugs are in your families lives it really sucks. Being in recovery myself and knowing what Tyler has been going through 'out there' has been a daily internal battle for me, as his Father. To cope with this fear I have done the only things I know how to, talk to others, hold up the "mirror" for him, and do what I can to protect Anthony.
Yes, I know, this is way early in the game, and the road ahead will be difficult for all involved. Yet, that one little phone call, opened up the dark room, and let some sun shine in!
