I once asked my only son Spencer why he started smoking pot, and he answered, "To keep me from putting a gun to my head."
Spencer is a tremendous athlete with a bright future just like many of America's sons and daughters. He wants to fit into a world with a culture that is not so forgiving and can make it tough for a young man to survive. He is in a fight for his life.
His mom who walks alongside her son with great love, which sometimes gets in the way, battles against her son's substance abuse with him.
When addiction lands on this mother's doorstep, it brings chaos and utter confusion to her and the whole family. Like many parents with a child facing substance abuse, she is desperate to find him treatment.
When drugs meet mental health issues, it does torment not only him but also all those around him whom he loves. Addiction can expose our loved ones to fentanyl, which is a killer of thousands. If you happen to know someone who comes in contact with it and makes it out alive with a productive life, then they are the exception.
After breaking into a pharmacy three times, he was arrested, which led him to the rehab center called John 3:16 Ministries which made him face his darkest fears. God rescued him from the depths of drug addiction and changed his life through Jesus Christ.
In this story, a family reaches out to God who helps their faith grow stronger and carries them through even the darkest of nights.
In Barbara's writing, you will see the daily struggles of living with an addict.
Her prayer is for the fentanyl crisis to be taken seriously enough to cut off its supply.
