I am so sorry you lost your beautiful boy. My oldest son was tempted by heroin. For just a few years thankfully. He escaped itโ€™s clutches and survived. I tell you this because I too felt helpless. And guilty. And depressed. It was awful. I can only imagine your grief and pain watching him descend into darkness refusing your loving hands. ๐Ÿ˜”

Your poem conveyed the pain I feel exactly. I lost my husband of 27 years to alcohol addiction in November of 2021. Iโ€™m still struggling with the pain. You write beautifully.

Addiction is a horrible disease. You are never alone.
