sewing, reading, swimming and drug addiction support for families

I enjoy sewing personal gift pillows. I enjoy reading whats going on in the world and short stories . I swim with my granddaughter and friends at the Y. The water is good exercise and a comfort place. So many lives have been affected by addiction. It is a crisis all over the united states. People struggling are in need of support to help them get into or stay in a treatment program and realize that drug addiction is not who they are. It is what happened . It does not own them. They can survive it and learn new ways to cope with life and the struggles that are difficult to handle. I communicate with the parents who are struggling with the complications of a child who is fighting or who lost the battle.
