Crockett County Stories

As a mother of an addict that you love with all of your heart, it is so hard to be a part of the addiction. It is like never being able to completely exhale. I feel like I am holding my breath just waiting for the news to come. My son is the most caring, humble person you could ever know. I have been by his bedside knowing he had been “dead” just minutes before. He has overdosed and should have died at least four times. The last time he suffered a light heart attack and was in a coma for three days. As a mother, I would never wish this type of pain on anyone. I sleep with my phone by my bed wondering when the next call comes if he will be alive or gone from life forever. I hate drugs and the heartbreak it does to families.
