Not sure why this memory just popped up, but it hit my heart hard today.

I was the mother of an addict. I WAS, the mother of an addict. I was the mother of an addict who went through rehab after years of addiction, and got his life back together. I was the mother of an addict who fought everyday for eight months to gain back the sobriety he had lost during those 15 years of using. I was the mother of an addict who graduated from rehab telling the other 100 guys that if he could make it through rehab, anyone could. I was the mother of an addict who graduated from rehab that day with hope in his heart, determination in his mind, and courage in his spirit. I was the mother of an addict who I prayed for miracles in my son's life from the time he drank that "first innocent beer" at the age of 14. I was the mother of an addict who was so cautious when he got out of rehab in case I would say or do the wrong thing. I was the mother of an addict who consistently reminded him how much I loved him, and that he could make it. I was the mother of an addict who stood on my tiptoes the night of his 31st birthday and gave him a kiss on the cheek telling him "Good night, I love you, God bless you, I'll see you tomorrow." I was the mother of an addict who got a phone call in the silence of the early morning less than two days later. I was the mother of an addict who stood in an ER beside my son's lifeless body, and cried so many tears that his clothing was damp. I was the mother of an addict who stood beside his casket screaming in pain wondering why I could not prevent what had happened. I was the mother of an addict who promised her son in the depth of her agony, that I would do everything I could do prevent another family from going through this indescribable sorrow. I WAS the mother of an addict. He is dead now. I am no longer the mother of an addict. I AM the mother who cries, and mourns, every single day wishing I could just hold him one more time. I am the mother with a heart that is shattered in a million pieces, who knows it will never again be whole. I am the mother who wonders everyday what else I could have done. I am the mother who gets very frustrated when I see someone else making the same mistakes my son did.............after they have been doing so good. I am the mother who does NOT want another mother to have to say ,"I WAS the mother of an addict." 💔

Just a few thoughts on this beautiful day! ❤️🤍🖤

This is something every adult should be thinking of! Let’s keep our kids safe! I saw a graduate puking one time at their own graduation party, (yes, from drinking.) NOT a good way to start the next chapter of their journey! 🥲

Graduation is a time for celebration, but don’t let one night change the trajectory of your child’s life. 🎓 In this episode of the Step Up to Save Our Children podcast, our Executive Director, Fran Gerbig, discusses why alcohol is never a safe reward for success.
From the legal risks of Social Host Laws—which can result in fines and jail time for parents—to the impact on a graduate's future scholarships and sports eligibility, the stakes are too high to look the other way. Because , you can choose to be the welcoming home that prioritizes safety over popularity.

For all my va**ng friends! Not trying to lecture TOO much, but dang it, being an ex smoker myself, and reading how bad these vapes are, I worry about you all!!! One thing at a time, right???? But consider it………..quitting someday soon!!! Love you all!❤️😘

V**e companies like to say their ingredients are 'food grade.' And sure, the liquid might be safe to eat, but your lungs aren't a stomach!
When that liquid hits a hot metal coil, it goes through a chemical reaction that turns 'safe' ingredients into toxic ones.

You wouldn't inhale a candy bar, so don't let them trick you into inhaling 'food-grade' toxins. Lungs are for breathing, not for eating. Give them the air they actually need.

With ECHO - Educating Communities on Healthy Opportunities – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉They are doing so much good in our communities!

Today, we went to the Bryan High School to be a resource table at the ECHO - Educating Communities on Healthy Opportunities Parent/Youth “Vaping, Trends, and Truth” presentation. They had speakers, a recognition night for the youth led group, and area resource tables available to talk to people. Thank you, Bethany Coutz and Bryan High School for the amazing presentation!! It was awesome! Our community needs to learn, and be aware, of how to keep our kiddos, and our communities, safe! Thank you to the students who are being the role models of today! Miss Williams County, Felicity Thiel, went with Victor Juarez and I to help out and to be there to also talk to anyone. Never Let Go Ministries is grateful for the opportunity! ❤️🤍🖤

Today, I was so blessed to be able to give my "Making a Difference" talk to the St. Mary's 6th graders at their end of the year retreat, which was held at St. Michael's in Hicksville. I walked into the setting, and my heart smiled. It was so beautiful and serene.. Mrs. Juliana M Taylor did an amazing job at decorating to create this amazing atmosphere. I cannot imagine how the students felt when they walked in and saw all of this special setting created just for them. Standing in front of these awesome and compassionate students ignited my flame again for the youth. Mrs. Betsy Hug should be very proud of her students. She is such a loving teacher and the students respect her so much! I am bummed we did not get a picture with her today. Father Daniel Borgelt took time out of his busy schedule to spend time with the students today at the retreat also! I pray that I was able to convince these students that they CAN make a difference in this world. I am sharing some of my slides from the Powerpoint also. Tonight, as I go to bed after a long day, I will pray that their hearts were open and they will always follow the path that God has laid before them.🙏❤🤍🖤 Thank you St. Mary School for every opportunity you bless me with to speak to your students! Please pray for our youth!! Each student also received a NLG bag filled with different items along with a “Jesus Calling for Kids” devotional, and a NLG t-shirt!
