yes, my yogi, I hit the jackpot. But life did get so much better for me! I am now married to a wonderful, loving and kind husband, so I hit the jackpot again - but this time beautifully.
My son is my heart burden. Hopefully I will be able to reach him when I have one-on-time with him. It will not be easy by no means. But I must have courage and say the unthinkable to him.
Something never in a million years, I thought I would have to confront. Always such a high achiever, so smart, so funny, so social, so loving, so kind and considerate. But all that fell by the wayside, addictions will always do that. Addictions affect the entire family...and I am certainly a casualty of his behavior and addiction. I pray this heartbreak does not bring on a re-occurrence of my cancer. I must live long enough to get my only adult child back on the right track, the good track, the life fulling track...where he was for so long before. I never thought, ever, at our ages 70 and 40, I would face this in my life. Yes, we all now this for sure. One never knows what curveballs life will throw at us. Life changes on a dime. We are all living proof of that.
Blessings to all.

@briarrose oh I am so sorry to hear this. I myself know the struggle of have a child in addition. Stay strong. My daughter is now clean of drugs and just had a baby. Prayer sent your way.

My heart goes out to you! I pray that God will guide your son out of the addiction. God can grant miracle when we’re at our wits’ end. One thing I learned from yoga that’s very helpful is breathing. When I feel stressed, I take several deep breaths, the 4-7-8 technique. In for 4, hold to a count of 7, then breathe out to a count of 8. My dear friend, I pray you will have no recurrence and you have the strength to help your son recover. Hugs.
