I Know You're Out There - We Need Each Other

I've often "felt" the thoughts and prayers of the people who read here. I was just at Ron's blog and read one word "speedballing" and literally my stomach feels like someone kicked me.

The first time I learned about speedballing was while standing in the principal's office of Keven's school with a cop listening to my high son tell me what he'd been up to the last few months...(Dec. 19, 2008 at 12:45 pm - a moment frozen in time for me).

If you don't know what it is, one word: DANGEROUS. Its injecting heroin and cocaine together in same syringe.

Also at this moment, I feel a connection with all of you. I know I am not the only parent sitting here with a tear in her eye, a fear in her heart, a pain in her stomach, crying out "please HELP Alex!"

My greatest fears in life are losing my son or finding out one of your loved ones ... I can't even say it. Damn it to hell. I am so pissed off right now.

This is not what I intended to write tonight. I just had to get it out.

HOW DO WE PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER FAMILIES?

Peace, Hope and Love, Barbara
