Parents with a child addicted to drugs and/or alcohol can find hope in a support program called Parents of Addicted Loved-ones (PAL). There are meetings sprouting up across the country, and lives being changed every day. It’s never an easy journey, but you don’t have to go it alone.

“Descubrir que un ser querido está usando drogas o alcohol puede ser difícil. Puede haber muchas mentiras y negaciones. Una vez que esté seguro, la siguiente pregunta es: ¿Ahora que?”

No estas solo.

Tener un hijo perdido por la adicción al alcohol oa las drogas es sufrir mil muertes. Cuanto más tratas de salvarlos de su adicción, más se quema un agujero en tu corazón. Al ver su luz desaparecer en la oscuridad, entras en tu propio mundo de dolor. Pero si bien puede sentirse varado por el miedo y la confusión, no está solo.

Core Curriculum

What makes all the difference at the end of the day is our ability to move forward in these situations, learn from our mistakes, and “be better.” For our families. For our friends. And for ourselves.
