I walked out onto the slate patio and peered into the dimly lit shrubbery when suddenly a figure dressed in black from head to toe emerged pointing a gun-at me!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI immediately jerked both hands above my head. \"Don't shoot! Please don't shoot,\" I croaked. I could hear my own heart pounding in my ears.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur son, Mike had come through the front door just minutes before. I had a million questions only he could answer. How had it all come to this? Never in my wildest dreams-or nightmares-could I have imagined a SWAT team in my backyard. But I hadn't imagined our son could become addicted to drugs either. Even though I was a trained counselor, I hadn't seen disaster coming under our own roof. As we stumbled through the hell that surrounds addiction, my maternal instincts were driving me harder and harder to save Mike. I was consumed with fear as my well intentioned efforts were enabling his addiction and prolonging the inevitable. How could I find the strength to let go?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho will help Mike now? Will he find a special angel from his past to lead him out of this darkness? Will he win the battle to survive? Take a journey so real you will feel the pain and the joy of every twist and turn in the road to recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"If you, or someone you care for, is struggling with drugs or alcohol, Jo's willingness to share her experience is both a blessing and a gift.
