Someone very close to me, a family member, struggles with addiction. Over the years, I've witnessed someone I love lose jobs, money, friends, their identity, everything. They continue to fight this inner battle within themselves. They live with this constant black cloud over their head. Addiction has become an epidemic in this country and too many die young because of this heartbreaking disease. Nobody wants to lose their entire life to a drug. I've seen my loved one go through multiple attempts trying to get sober. Multiple rehabs, jail time, recovery, relapse, it's a vicious cycle.
