My mother left me when I was 5 and became a drunk/druggie and almost died. When I was 18 she got sober and emailed me to apologize. I am so proud of her. We can't do anything about the past only the future. Make the present count and you'll BUILD a relationship with your son and he'll always know that you came back for him! Be there for him now!

I was 17, a junkie, and pregnant. I quit alcohol, pills and drugs as when I found out I was expecting, I put myself through high school, through college, and now work a full-time job in a career that I worked my butt off for. I did it all without "AA" or "NA". I made a choice - a choice to be a mother, my son saved me and is the greatest gift that I have ever received. Mothers that don't embrace and nurture their children should be ashamed of themselves. Dear Tia,

It's not called disease THEORY for nothing. I could start and association with an official sounding name and claim all kinds of things. Don't trust everything you read. Think. for. yourself. Btw, AA has a dismal success rate. I don't watch TV, but I'm sure 'intervention' is another show designed to make money off of peoples' pain. I don't support that sort 'entertainment', I think it's very sad. Have you heard of Iboga? I've seen so very many people walk away from addictions in three days. No joke. Of course, they are left with themselves to examine. That's actually the hard part. I walked away from 20 years of alcohol addiction with the help of Iboga. I haven't walked back. I don't go to AA. I'm not diseased. I'm not sure why I'm bothering to tell you this. Well? It’s not called disease THEORY for nothing.

It’s a fucking disease that people are environmentally and genetically predispositioned to. And you’re not really telling me to get over myself, you’re telling the philosophy of Alcoholic’s Anonymous to get over itself. way to be closed minded, you moron. just watch an episode of intervention. people don’t “choose” to ruin their lives. actually, honey, addiction is defined as a disease by doctors, psychologists, and many other people in the physical and mental health field. here’s a quote for you:
