Delray Recovery Center: Hope for the Hopeless

June 21st was the four year anniversary of my daughter's father's suicide.

Every year around this time, I'm reminded of what mental illness and drug addiction does to people - and what it does to the friends and family of an addict. While drug addiction did not directly lead to my ex's death, I have always felt that he would have been more likely to have gotten help for his emotional issues, had he not struggled with drug addiction for the majority of his adult life.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, I want you to know that IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

I know that Angeline's father felt that there was no hope. He felt that he was at the point of no return...and that was the farthest thing from the truth.

Drugs lie.

During my life, I've seen drug addiction in many forms. I've seen a close family member struggle with an addiction to crack cocaine. He went into treatment and recovered - someone who thought he was completely without hope is now living a happy, normal, full life. I've seen my father's old friends who struggled for years with addiction, one after the other, enter treatment and recover from their addictions.

Drugs lie, they tell the addict that there is no hope BUT THERE IS HOPE.
