But that was not my reality. Reality was that I fell in with the wrong crowd. I made some bad friends. As I met more people who partied, took drugs and alcohol, I began to follow them. Before I knew it, all I cared about was how I was going to get high.

　　My mom was angry and let me know how much I was letting her down but I didn’t know how to stop and I couldn’t picture my life without the drugs. I protected my using drugs at any cost. I was angry at her because it seemed as if I was not important to her. The one thing about my mom was that she did not give up. I not only needed treatment to fight my addiction, but needed help to remove what I had been carrying around for years. Professionals were able to help us heal together. They were able to help my mom learn how to push me when I needed drugs, and communicate with an angry teenager.

　　We didn’t take the route that most mothers and sons take in life, but we are proof that addiction doesn’t have to tear a family apart forever.
