I never thought my life would turn out like that [addicted to drugs]. I felt nothing. I was numb. I was sick and tired all the time. I was afraid I was going to die, so I went to Stepping Stones and got help. They are my family now.

I want to tell you that tough love was the best love for me. I think about what you used to tell me and I am applying it in my life. And guess what? It works for me and I will forever and always appreciate what you did in my life.
