I mean it's not like every group, but I mean I am your mother, I am the one that suffers behind the scenes, I am the one going through your addiction with you and I don't wish what I feel on anybody ever, my worst enemy.
When tragedy strikes, some find a way to turn their pain into a beacon of hope for others. In this episode of The CG Kid Podcast, a mother opens up about the devastating loss of her son to heroin addiction. Her raw and heartfelt account sheds light on the heavy stigma surrounding drug abuse and its profound impact on families.

She emphasizes the critical need for early intervention, urging others to recognize the signs of drug use before it's too late. The conversation isn't just about loss; it's also about the resilience and strength found in recovery.
The mother offers practical coping strategies for families facing similar battles, hoping her experience can spare others from the same heartache. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of support, understanding, and action in the fight against addiction.
