I got a phone call last night stating they found my 23 year old grandson dead last night.  It was a senseless death as he was addicted to herion and they say it was overdose.  We tried so hard to help him, but they say you  can't help someone who don't want it.   My heart so breaking horrible.  I will so miss him so much.  I have really tried so hard to stay strong through all the curve balls life has thrown at me in this 245 days but I am really having a weak moment. .I deeply know I will not smoke as there is no day one again for me. On my way to daughters and pray I can stay strong for her.  I know smoking will not bring him back and not even considering it because I know it is NOPE for me.  Thanks again for listening and being here to support me. HUGS!

Sharon,

I am so sorry, so terribly sorry.  Heroin is a horrible drug and its use is at epidemic proportions.  What a waste of a young life, what grief you and your family are left with.  My heart aches for you , sweet lady.  Don't try to stay strong for your daughter, just be you, let your grief come out right along with hers.  

I wish there were more words.  Saying prayers for all of you,

Love,

Ellen

Holding you in my heart.  "When sorrows come they come not single spies but in batallions."  I'm just sitting here in amazement as to all the things you've gone through in the past several months.  My great nephew died of an overdose.  It's such a an awful, awful waste of a young life.  And it leaves the family in despair.  I'm so sorry.  I pray for comfort for you all. ♥

Sharon, 

I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. This is a tough situation that words cannot express the scope of how you must be feeling. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I too lost a son 12 yrs ago.  I wish I could do or say something that would help ease the pain. We all are here for you.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
