I just want to say that I lost my 21 year old cousin Sunday due to heroin addiction. I have never experienced addiction myself, but have lost family and friends due to it. I hope those of you that struggle with addiction of any kind know you are not alone. There are so many people in this world of all ages, races, and backgrounds that struggle. It does not discriminate. I hope you know I am praying for all involved with this demon. I hope people like our children will truly understand just how fast this drug can consume you. Say no is no joke. Dont forget there is hope. If you decide to get sober, please dont do it alone. Prayers to all.

    Anna.

    My thoughts are with you & your family at this so very, very sad time for you all!

    For you to post such a lovely post, at what is such a very sad time for you & your family, took great courage from you, & it came from your heart.

    All I can say is Thank you, thank you for reaching out to people who have been gripped & all consumed by this evil demon that only destroys lives of all ages, all classes etc. As you so rightly say, it does not discriminate. It just takes & takes & takes!!

    Your words are very welcome & if those words just reach one person who will take your words on board & not go through their hell alone but seek Help, then it is one less person suffering & it really is words from the heart very well spoken.

    Thank you again Anna, 21yrs old is no age, and my heart goes out to you & your family at such a very sad time.

    God bless you & all your family who are suffering unimaginabley right now.

    Thank you & take care

    Ritchie xx
