| Introduction | Please feel free to share your experiences, resources, stories, techniques and strenghts so we can all learn from one another. I am an average parent who continues to seek out answers to the disease of addiction. I post my comments to help other parents who may not fully understand the journey they are on. I have already made every mistake a parent of an addicted child can make. It's not necessary for other parents to make the same mistakes! |
