~EVERYONE NEEDS A LOVE AND SUPPORT, REGARDLESS~

I do not uphold drug abuse nor do I frown upon one who does, as I recognize that drug addiction is not a choice but an addiction that snuck its way in from the playground bore.

My younger sister started drinking at age 12, where it was first discovered by my family when she had to be rushed from middle school to the ER as she had suffered alcohol poison from having drank a half gallon of vodka...wtf?!...Yes!

That incident was just the beginning for her and my family for a 30 year draining ride to hell and back...she ingested every illegal drug known...from cocaine...to crack...to morphine...to heroine...you name it, she snorted and syringed it...At one point she looked like a corpse reincarnated...She hit rock bottom...prostitution...burglarizing homes, walking straight off department stores with tv's, lawn mowers, street fights, in and out of prison...OMG! You name it...she did it...30 long...draining...drawn out years...and not once...I repeat not once did I dehumanize or respect her as a person...I supported her...always gave her supportive, constructive criticism...

God is Good...Today, she is four years clean...a drug counselor...engaged to be married...and just purchased a home.

Support your friend. Do not turn your back on your friend. Encourage your friend with positive constructive criticism...and be certain to specifically verbalize their positive attributes placing emphasis on how he or she can utilize those attributes to live life to the fullest and how others would be grateful for the benefit they are blessed with from your friend being generous with the attributes...attributes that others long for...

Never turn your back to a friend...Genuinely and Devotedly do all in your power to insure they shine.

Life is Blessing!

LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE.

God Bless Sweetie.
