Recovery

With the release and the reading of my book Chasing Carson: A Family’s Journey through Adolescence, Addiction and Recovery, I am quite sure there will be questions and comments. I encourage you all to ask away. Our story is gritty…substance use is not pretty and those afflicted with the disease of addiction are not usually liked very well. Oh, and let’s add in adolescence which during those years some teens can be hard to live with, just ask my parents. My dad made my stepmom quit her job one summer to babysit me…..No Lie! Let’s get real…Let’s talk about the grit…Let’s talk about our messy lives…Why?! Because not talking about it is killing our kids (fentanyl poisoning) or at the very least leaving them hearing impaired (Carson) or schizophrenic ( 2 of our family friend’s kids), homeless or in jail. Teen experimentation is dangerous these days. The education on drugs and the brain has got to catch up in our homes and in our schools. This is a community crisis!
