I am addicted to my drug-addicted son.
Tim was addicted to heroin, and I was addicted to him. This book is about those twin addictions. It’s the story of how I’ve participated in his addiction, willingly and unwillingly, consciously and unconsciously. It’s about the price Tim, my family, and I have paid for these addictions.
Addicted to the Addicted is a candid and honest account of the complex and conflicting emotions experienced by the mother of a drug addict. It was written to help other parents who may find themselves caught up in the same dilemma. I want to share with you some hard-earned wisdom that may help you and your loved ones avoid the mistakes I made.
Perhaps this book will serve that purpose.
