Things have been rather peaceful around here - especially since the roofing and siding guys left.  The banging was something else and they took much longer than they said they would but it's now...

Last night my husband and I were invited to Susan and Scott's (new friends of ours) home for dinner. She and her husband have a son in recovery who was friends with my son (T) at one time. They have...

This time it was only about $30 because hubby learned his lesson.  Doesn't keep cash around.  If anything, T needed them for cigarettes.  He had asked me to buy him a pack for few days now and I...

I need to go to soccer tonight to burn off steam, worry, and calories.  Soccer is so helpful to me - I love it!  Unfortunately, because of my power walking/running my collar bone started acting up...

Haven't talk or even seen T in days.  I know it has to be getting really bad.  Strange - my husband seems so removed from it.  He went off to his tennis.  I need to do something.  I can't...

I should be a mess - J is drinking and T - I have no idea what he's up to.  We don't see him at all.  Last night when I woke up (or should I say this morning - since it was 4:30AM) T wasn't home....

J went to his second AA meeting with his old friend, Russ, from the rock band days. They've been friends since middle school and this friend of his has struggled with alcohol since high school.  I...

A few years ago when T-Man when he was obviously struggling and out of control with his usage, my dreams and thoughts were all consuming about him and what we should do.  I was a mess.  Now?  I've...

I think that T is up to eyeballs in drugs.  He's become so distant - never home, very evasive even more and more.  Because he's not getting arrested and no longer are we getting calls from the high...

Talked to J this afternoon.  He didn't come home last night.  Said he fell asleep at his girlfriend parent's house and wasn't feeling well.  I asked what was wrong and he said "withdrawals"....

I guess I could only take in so much when J was telling us about T.  I talked to J today about the heroin and he said that T did admit that he did "tried" it again.  Although he told J that he...

I was out gardening this evening when my husband called me into the house.  Our middle son, J, wanted to talk to us.  It was about T-Man.  Said he heard from some kids he doesn't know very well...

T-Man didn't come home AGAIN.  The screen on his cell doesn't work anymore so, at least, when I call he answers because he doesn't know who is calling.  I called after dinner tonight and he...

Found an oblong, white pill on the floor of our basement today.  It has APO on one side and 097 on the other.  Looked it up on-line (what would we do w/out the Internet?) and  I found out that...

My hubby is a very active and busy guy.  In fact, sometimes he's  WAY TOO BUSY and always been and seemed to prefer to be with others than with me.  I know, in my heart, that that isn't the case....
