If you're in active addiction right now, today could be the day, today could be the day that you start that lifelong journey. Go to a meeting. And if you are the loved one of somebody suffering in addiction, you're just taking the time to listen to mom and I and we're both pretty grateful for that. Let them know they are loved. That little glimmer of hope just might be the thing that brings you home.
