    Wonderful story and thanks Eric and Rob for sharing this story. Important work to help folks understand the journey of addiction for the addict and their families. We are people with problems, like all people. But there is a lot of shame still around the addict and the families who surround them. Thanks for helping put a human face on addiction.

    Bless you both,
    Laura L. Padgett
