One Family's Journey of Hope
One Family's Journey of Hope
His journey to sobriety was long and difficult but I am grateful to say that he has turned his life around and has been sober for almost 4 years. He keeps track of his sobriety on an App on his phone (see pic). He is actively involved in his sobriety that he sees as a lifelong commitment. I share this with you today because my son recently graduated from college with his 2 year degree. It was a huge accomplishment after several setbacks. With his confidence restored he chose to set the bar high to see if he could attend the school of his dreams to finish his degree. He applied to Columbia University and learned he was accepted yesterday!! He plans to study psychology with a desire to pursue a career in addiction counselling.
We thank God everyday for saving our son and restoring his life. What we went through as a family I would not want to go through again. However, the personal growth and deeper relationships we all experienced through the process I would not change. We share our story often with other families who are struggling with addiction. It is an epidemic and so many families suffer in silence. If we share our stories maybe we can share the burden of suffering and help to raise awareness of the disease of addiction.
