No matter how old they get, they will always be your baby.

You must feel overwhelmed and scared when your child has addiction, and figuring out what to do is equally confusing.

This week on Addiction Unlimited Podcast I talk to a mom with an all-star son, college athlete, charming, and addicted to heroin.

A football injury shattered his dreams, and pain pills for medicinal purposes quickly turned to heroin. Her journey has many twists and turns, probably just like yours, and she shares her story of fighting for her son's life and love for her child that is unconditional.

It is a story heard across the nation; you get a prescription for pain medication for a legitimate injury, and the power of these medications can take control before you know it. Because of the difficulty of obtaining prescription pills on an ongoing and long-term basis, many people will turn to heroin because it is cheaper, and easier to get.

Be angry with the addiction, love the addict. They are two separate things.
