Cheryl, I was very touched by your post. I also went thru drug addiction, yet I spent about 20 years doing so. I had a son, when I had been clean for almost a year. But after his birth I returned to my drug use. I thought I was ok because I made good money as an Advertising Manager for a newspaper and felt like noone knew I had problems. Ha! After a few years, I divorced my son's dad because he was abusive and for years did not realize that I did not deserve that. At this time, I had been having clusters for about 5 or 6 years. When my son was 11 years old, I got clean. Then God opened the door for me to become a Registered Nurse. I now work in a drug and alcohol rehab center and have been clean for around 10 years. My son is 21 years old and is proud of his mother. I wanted to share this with you to say... don't ever regret anything you may have done in your life, as I found out that God can turn the bad times into ones that can help others. God bless you. And as you said, hang on to what you have. smile, nancy c
