Growing up is hard. The stress levels rise and it feels like you are left fighting for air. We all handle life differently. Some people vent to a therapist, some confide in friends, some work out, and then there are some who choose drugs. It seems like the drug using population is growing everyday. Every family is affected now by some form of drug.

If you are on drugs, you are making that decision. Everyone has potential to do something great with their life, but yet you choose the drug over it. You are better than this. YOU can change your life. YOU have the will power to say no and get help. Even if you don't think you can, you do. Your family believes in you. Everyone wants you to be the best.

Having family members who choose this way of life is heartbreaking. We sit and watch them slowing kill themselves. We wait for the phone call that your body has been found. This is not how a family is supposed to be. A family is supposed to be close and happy. Yes every family will have its problems, but the fear of what will happen to our loved ones is worse.

If you have a child think of them. Think of what they are seeing and hearing. It has shown in families that a child who grow up with drug using parents turn out to be drug users. Do you really want your child to grow up like that. As a parent you want the best for your child. Right?

I am here to tell you that I want you to get help. Even though I may have never met you, I want you to reach out and better yourself. I want to see you succeed in all you do. I believe in you. Life will always be hard and you may feel so alone, but drugs are not the answer. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS!
