Finding Strength: Kim Humphrey's Journey with Parents of Addicted Loved Ones

You know, the drugs are the same, the heartbreak is the same and the struggles as well as the victories you know, and being around people that have been down this road, you have it, it's a different perspective and they understand you and you feel like you can share.
