My favorite little sister called today. I answered from the bathroom soaking wet from the shower. She asked me not to put her on speaker. That is serious... so I said can I call you back in five minutes? And got dressed real quick and called her back.

The news was not pretty, even when you think death is the best option for someone in your life, when it happens it is still traumatic. My nephew by marriage is my sisters foster nephew/son. His Mom died, they found her today. There has to be an investigation because they think she has been deceased for two days and they will need to figure out the cause of death. More than likely it will be diabetic related or a drug overdose. She was not a stellar woman most of the time but before she got back into meth she was a decent mother and I'm sorry for her little boy.

Drug addicts, abuser and users have figured heavily in my life lately. I picked up the inside informant at Sundown today after spending the weekend with him and his Dad, hoping to heal and get him on the right track. I met the guys in his group and they were just like him, hopeful to get their lives back together and after 3 days with them I grew really attached to them.

I learned quite a bit about enabling, not being a co-dependent and it was all in all a very enlightening healing weekend.

"It's a no fault disease." This is what they teach. It is no one persons fault. They may choose to take a drink, a drug but it is in their DNA and the addiction is no ones fault and that its a disease.
