The Devil At the Door is... Heroin. Heroin doesn't discriminate. It destroys lives and families and is robbing our community. These pages are the personal Chronicles of loving a child who uses and abuses heroin and opiates. You can also find what I hope to be helpful links, info and resources as well as sometimes whatever is on my mind at the moment... even an occasional venting!
I will always be a fan of Queen. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me so much of my son addicted to heroin and that thinking he has of invincibility because of this drug and use and abuse of it! Of course if he were here beside of me he would snicker at me or laugh for saying this.
If you have a problem with heroin or any other drug, please seek help and treatment today.
This song reminds me of a lot of years my son has spent in this addiction.
A few of the words remind me of the time he tried to detox on his own from this poison. A powerful song!
This is for Kyle and Carrie. This song is a big reminder. Our son Kyle had a very good woman who stood by his side for as long as she could. He had a nice life and he let it all go for his abusing drugs.
Kyle,
I just don't get it. I guess it isn't for me to understand. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of you and Carrie. Kyle, I told you several years ago when you first met Carrie after all of the bad years in a toxic marriage of using and abusing drugs with your ex. I told you that diamonds are rare and that when you find a diamond, it a treasure to find one. Keep that diamond close to you always because they sometimes only come once in your lifetime.
Carrie,
We wish for all the world when you first knew that he was having trouble maintaining sobriety and had started using and abusing again that you would have reached out to us instead of hiding behind it for a year and a half. We may or may not have been able to intercede at that time. We cannot look back on the shoulda done, the coulda done and the woulda done now.
Loving an addict is a lonely place to be. You continue to care about them while they continue to prove how little they care about themselves and care only for their addiction to the drug. Eventually you have to walk away just to save yourself. We understand why you couldn't hang on.
I know there are Angels walking with us. Some we can't see; other times they appear in many a form. They are there. I don't know why this song is only played at Christmas. The words to the song are not even related to a holiday. Ain't it kind of funny when at the dark end of the road. Someone comes along and lights a single ray of hope....
I know and understand that not everyone is dealing with this heroin epidemic here- having a loved one addicted or to those who dohave an addiction to heroin What
I do know is that it is these times like this that we reach out and often we need some sort of spirituality
