[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 672020, member: 19522"] Oh Sea I am so sorry for your heartbreak. Believe me I have been there many, many times. I know it feels terrible, the world comes crashing down upon us. We did not imagine in a million years our children growing up and becoming this. Sea, I have learned that thoughts and words are powerful things. Maya Angelou speaks thusly. Imagine what Einstein or Michaelangelo would have thought about our ability to send these posts worldwide, in an instant. Here we are thousands of miles apart communicating to one another. Many souls here on CD have benefited from each other's stories from the far reaches. Thoughts and words typed into computers traveling through cyberspace. How strange and mysterious. If man can achieve this, how much more so can God achieve? Thoughts and words are powerful things. Prayers are powerful things. I would like you to just try saying "Drugs will not win, my son belongs to a higher power." In this you are declaring to the universe, brighter possibilities for your son. It is not up to you to make this happen, it is between your boy and his maker. But your thoughts and words are out there, with the stars. "Drugs will not win, I am giving my daughters to you Lord." That simple prayerful statement has helped calm me in the darkest times. It has helped me move on from the desperate turmoil of trying something, anything to help, in spite of my own needs or safety, for that matter. It has helped me to realize there is nothing I can do, because they have strayed so far from me and my teachings that I must step out of the picture and surrender them and myself to God. I refuse to say drugs win, they do not. My two are on their own path and must live their lives as they choose. They will stumble and fall as we all have. Maybe a bit harder. But I will not give up the hope that God holds out to all of us. Our D c's are not so recognizable to the children we raised. They are journeying on their path. It is not happening as we would wish. It does not mean all is lost. It feels this way when we still cling to the hope that we can fix them. We cannot fix them. We can give them back to the one who can, and fervently pray for help for them, and for us, too. In our desperation we realize this thing is too big for us to handle. Thoughts, words and prayers are powerful, Sea. You will come out of this. You will be okay. You are strong. You are not alone. My prayers for you and your son for peace, and for my girls too and all of us on Cd. God bless. ((((hugs)))) leafy [/QUOTE]
