Caregivers

2013/03/26

The job of caregiver, though usually unpaid, is one of the most complex and challenging roles anyone will undertake. There is no how-to manual that can adequately coach people on what it takes to keep a loved one safe and well once he or she has serious medical problems.

Drugs and their effects on both the user and the family

2013/03/12

I did my share of enabling until I finally realized that I was part of the problem and not part of the solution. I then started a local drug education network and learned a huge amount about drugs and their effects. After two years I wanted to expand the reach of this work so created my current website. Drugs split families apart. I knew that for my own health and safety I could not live in the same house with a drug abuser.

Steve Martin, Military Police

2013/02/26

It was during this time that Steve began to make a very hard decision. He contemplated if it would be in his best interest to actually have his legs amputated and “start from scratch,” so to speak. To help him make this difficult decision, he went on a trip to San Diego. He wanted to put his toes in the sand to see if it was more important for him to feel the sand beneath his feet or to actually walk on it.
