FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Friday Everyone,

I am kinda sad today.   Today I have to return my son back to Teen Challenge.    I keep telling myself...4 more months and he will have completed his year long program tthere.    Today I am SO grateful for programs such as Teen Challenge who offers hope to ALL addicts of all sorts.    Thank you God for all the changes in his life.....I know that YOU and you ALONE are the reason for these amazing changes.    For you who have not heard....my 26 yr. old son has battled heron addiction for the past 5 yrs and has been a drug addictt since he was about 12 or 13.   He entered into Teen Challenge last August and has now been clean for 8 months.    He has gained over 40 lbs since he went into the program and when he gets out he will have a wonderful future awaiting him.   SO today I am grateful for Teen Challenge.   PLEASE keep me in your prayers today as I drive for about 12 hours taking him back to SA and back home.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for on this beautiful friday morning.    Have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I am grateful that there are people like you out there who are willing to be open and honest about their lives and share them with others. You are an inspiration!

 Thank you so much Ilene......sometimes I think I open up too much but hey that is the way I am.    I try to let people know that there is HOPE no matter how tough life is and lets face facts.....we are ALL food addicts or we wouldn't have had WLS to help us get control of our situations.    Thank you for calling me a inspiration.    That truly touched my heart.   Have a blessed weekend.

Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian
