Biggest hugs ever... you are such a winner.

This is ken from North Carolina as a person who credits you with helping me overcome alcohol addiction my heart goes out to you.You know what to do you have done it for others, so it might be up to Sean to do what he has to do.He will have to fight hard,and then one day his brain will click.
The only recommendation I have is to replace some of that energy he used for his addiction with a physical activity running,swimming, cycling ect,ect.

I love you for what you did for me and always will, I try to pay it foward so if I can ever do anything for you let me know.Your friend Ken

PS-I just ran my first Marathon last month in Charlottesville Virginia...remember there are many ways to the top of the mountain,and they are mountains worth climbing.</description>

		<description>Dear Wendi.   My heart goes out to you.  I know exactly how you are feeling as my daughter is also an addict to vicodin and oxycontin.  When I was a young mother, I was always a little worried that something would happen to my 2 girls, and as they got older, that fear went away..me thinking since they were adults, and I taught them everything that I know to protect them, they would finally be safe.  Then my oldest daughter developed leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant.  My younger daughter, who I am sure felt the world was on her shoulders, was her donor for her transplant, and at the same time started abusing the narcs, for &quot;numbing her feelings&quot;.  After 6 mos of fighting tremendously hard for her life...Stephanie passed away...and Lisa continued with her addiction.  So, right now, I feel like I have lost both of them.  She has been in treatment centers twice now, and has been &quot;clean&quot; for 7 months. Her life will never be the same...nor will mine.  I am not sure if I agree with the 12 step method...and she wont let me hypnotize her for addictions, so... after spending thousands and thousands of dollars trying to &quot;help&quot; her...I am finally making a huge decision that hopefully will help both of us...it is her life, and if she is going to drag it into the ground, she will do it, with or without my &quot;help&quot;... so... I am releasing her to someone who is much more powerful than me, and they will have to figure it out. I cant do this anymore, and have learned that she needs to fight for herself, I cant fight for what she needs.   she is the only one who can make it happen.....good, or bad.  I love you and send you my blessings and remember to keep taking care of yourself.  You cant give to others, if you have already given everything away.  You have to keep yourself refueled.  xoxoxox</description>

		<description>I could&#039;ve written this myself -- same story pretty much.
Last week in church, the minister taught us to pray:

I freely and fully release __________ to make the choices that are best for him to best of his ability and current understanding for the highest good in his life, and for the highest good in my life.

My son tells me he is still clean after rehab a year and a half ago -- I can only love him unconditionally, and release him to the Divine.</description>

		<description>Hi Wendi,


I feel your pain and am here sending you loving energy and healing. You have helped so many people in the world and now it&#039;s your turn to receive.

 It&#039;s funny how in the world we all think that our lives have to take certain courses. I strongly believe that you should now put your faith in knowing that you have done everything you can for your son. It hurts to let them go I know I have a son who is 20 who has just gone through a crisis and if it helps you to know the moment when  I stopped worrying about him he started to find his way again. Some one said to me that sending worry is like sending negative energy and I think this is how it works. Just send your son loving thoughts all the time.

You also deserve to have a life of happiness and your path is not the same as your sons. You have done your best, your son&#039;s challenge is his challenge and life path and through the hard times it&#039;s how we grow the most however painful that might be to a mother who wants to fix it all.

That&#039;s the hardest part for us woman learning to take a back step I believe.

Ask that he is supported now with his guides and surround him in white light.
I sense that very soon you will  start to see a great shift and a great healing.

And it&#039;s ok to enjoy yourself and have fun, you aren&#039;t betraying your son at any level he needs to strong and fit and happy  

Lots of love to you,

Sally Francis xx

		<description>Wendi, I am sad reading your tale.  You as someone that helps so many others.

The thought that comes to my mind is that many people ask why did / do you do that.  How about asking why you won&#039;t.  I belive he needs his own meaningful reasons why he won&#039;t do this anymore and he won&#039;t.

Best wishes to you, your son and all!</description>

		<description>Dear Wendi,
I really hope you read this.  Please get him accupuncture NOW.  The mind has to change, you have those tools.  The BODY has to change, that&#039;s why accupuncture is for.  Also, if you can get him to get Reiki (best bet get an accupuncturist that also does Reiki or works with a Reiki master), and that will help his SOUL.  So start with the accupuncture.  Honestly, it works.</description>

		<description>Wendi,
My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Our family is experiencing similar struggles. Our worst nightmare is that we will get the call from the hospital and it will be the end of a beautiful soul. As you know, all we can do is believe that this will be overcome. My love to you and your family.

		<description>I pray and send Reiki for you and your beautiful son. I can&#039;t imagine what the struggle your son and so many others face, kicking drugs. For every hour, for every day that your son is off them, must be a tremendous accomplishment. Some one I know and love very much has quit for some years now, and I was certain every time she quit, she would succeed. I&#039;m so grateful she did it, and she&#039;s alive. This world is so much better off with her in it, doing the wonderful things she does, giving so much love, and she is constantly showing us, &quot;never give up&quot; on those you love. Wendi and Sean, I&#039;m sure you are both scared. Make this be the last stay in jail, and make this be life without drugs. May the love of each other help you both. Sean, I am confident this is your turning point. You are surrounded by sooooo much love. Yvonne</description>
