My own nephew didn’t see his own addiction signs and was involved in a Las Vegas Swat Team drug bust confrontation… died way too early! This page is dedicated to him in the hope that someone else will read it and recognize their own typical addiction signs.

I still miss him and did try to help him but he thought he did not have a problem!

This website is about recovery – not making money – but it wouldn’t hurt to pay a few web hosting charges if you  decided to visit one of the sponsors ads… I have kept outside ads to a minumum so its not so frustrating to read. Hate those pages with an ad between every paragraph.

Have a great One Day at a Time! Dean 🙂
