You Are Not Alone

Love a heroin addict? Is this person a son? Daughter? A loved one's heroin addiction is a journey into a haunting no horror story can compete with. The ghost is always there stealing joy, peace, sleep...and sometimes shreds of sanity. For Jeannie, prayer provided hope and some measure of comfort. Jeannie shares what she remembers of the prayers she sent to Heaven for herself, her addict son...for family.

No one needs or should be alone when trying to cope with the craziness of a loved one's addiction. Jeannie hopes her prayer journey will help others find strength and comfort. Jeannie understands the pain of watching that beloved child slowly die, on all levels. You are not alone!

However, if you believe in an all-powerful and loving God, know that He, too, loves the addict even more than you do. If your addict was the only person on Earth, Jesus would have died just for this daughter, son, granddaughter, grandson! Don't give up on this addict - don't give up on yourself. You will grow through the journey, as well! Every tear shed from the sinews of your heart is fuel for your growth - and closer intimacy with the Master of Creation!
