The love of a mother

I grew up a strong Morman. When I was 14 years old I was put into a group home beacuse I am bipolar. When I turned 18 I got dumpted at Disneyland. I had a friend that I didn't know was a drug dealer pick me up. I started on meth. Last year on January 27, 2012 I found out that I was pregnant. I had a choice to make. My unborn child or drugs. I chose my unborn baby. I have been clean for now a year and a month. My son is almost 5 months. He is a healthy, happy baby.

You are a rock star Heather! I am so proud of you. I thank God every day that you choose to be clean. This little guy will always know how much you love him. :)

I just wanted to give you my email address in case you need to contact someone. I don't know if you believe in spiritual warfare, but spirits which influence addictions have a tendency of attacking us when we are particularly vulnerable. This is how relapses occur, and it is how the alcoholic manages to stay sober for a year, only to find themselves fall into temptation because an old friend "coincidentally" meets up out of the blue and asks them if they want to have a drink and catch up. Anyway, just thought I would reach out in case you ever find yourself in a dark place and need to borrow a flashlight who has been in the same position. mstone241986@yahoo.com
