Yes Sam thank you.
I would like to share with you another side of addiction.
My son Ryan was raised in church his entire life.He went to our church school until he reached 9th grade.He started in wanting to go to the public school and I should have never let him.
His senior year of high school Ryan was introduced to Oxycontin(a time released pain pill of Oxycodone) it was another senior that gave it to him.This was in September 2007.I did not know Ryan was messing with drugs until Jan.2008.He was pulled over and he had a pill that was not his.He was arrested and put on a bond until court.Part of his bond condition was to take a drug test once a week .He would leave for school a little early to go take this weekly drug test.One morning in April 2008 he called me from the jail.He had failed.I am friends with the lady who works through drug task here and she helped me get Ryan into a christian rehab.He finished his senior year from a jail cell.He would leave jail and go to school and then back to jail.Because Ryan was in jail the school would not let him walk with his graduating class.I still have his hat and gown.It has never been opened.
In June Ryan left to go to a very intense,live in christian rehab.He did really good and would come home for a day to visit.they would always drug test him when he go back and always passed.I thought we had intervened in time to get him off Oxycodone.
Ryan came home on November 21st 2008.He turned 19 on November 22,2008.My son over dosed and died on November 25th 2008.He died from one 40 mg Oxycontin.
People don't realize that this is the drug of choice for teen.
Now I live in fear for my other son,scared!Please continue to pray.My youngest son is not using but do I really know he's not and that is how we live now!
