  • Mothers Struggling with Drug Addiction

    A mother of three unintentionally became addicted to narcotics prescribed to her for a back injury. Although she had sworn to herself that she would never forsake her children because of the drugs, it was the fate they eventually suffered. She was no longer the attentive, loving and responsible mother she once was and in its place had become someone she hated. I had no energy to involve myself with their lives, and soon found myself losing touch with what they were interested in or what their lives outside were like. I became very selfish, irritable and emotional. I stopped trying to even appear interested in them or what they had to say. I made errors, lost things, forgot to cook dinners, left them home unattended for extended periods of time, or spent excessive periods of time sleeping off the effects of the drugs while they were home, leaving them ...

    Megan was just 12-years-old when a close relative first sexually abused her. Left feeling alone and helpless, she felt that overcoming this trauma was an impossible task and needed to find a way to cope. In her mind, life was simply becoming too much.

  • Spring Cleaning Marks a New Beginning

    I recently read a story about a man named Jeff; who after a long struggle with alcohol addiction, finally made the decision to enter alcohol and drug rehab and has now been sober for ten months. While he was no longer drinking, Jeff had yet to update his kitchen setup to reflect the fact that alcohol is no longer in his life. Meaning, he still had his wine glasses, shot glasses, etc. in the cabinets and remnants of old bottles of alcohol in his liquor cabinet. It wasn’t until last spring, that Jeff realized he should start his spring cleaning and get rid of anything that might subconsciously trigger a desire for alcohol. We are on the cusp of another spring season—a time where many will start to take inventory of their lives and homes, cleaning out all the unnecessary clutter; a time commonly referred to as spring cleaning. Alcohol ...

  • In July of 2009, Diane Schuler steered her Ford Windstar the wrong way on the Taconic State Parkway. A few minutes later, her vehicle slammed into an SUV head-on, killing her, four of the five children she was transporting, and the three men in the SUV. Schuler’s 5-year-old son was the lone survivor of the crash. According to investigators, at the time of the crash, Diane’s blood alcohol content was .19; more than double the legal limit, and was also “impaired by marijuana.” In the aftermath of the horrific accident, Diane Schuler’s family, especially her husband Daniel, were subjected to a significant amount of criticism for allowing someone with such a high blood alcohol content and apparent alcohol abuse problem to get behind the wheel of a car. However, according to her family, Diane never abused alcohol or other drugs; as her husband stated, “I never saw her drunk since ...
