Hello my name is Elizabeth I have one child we have both been through alot over the years I am a recovering addict that's been clean and sober for 13 years going on 14th year now. Due to my poor decisions I once had my son taken from me due to my addiction to heroin at that time when I was struggling I felt lost I could've used more drugs to make my pain go away but instead I chosed to do it the right way because it killed me thinking that my son could grow up hating me for giving up on him and I wouldn't of been able to live with myself knowing there was a way out and didn't take it. At that point, there wouldn't have been no excuses, its on me. Putting myself in my sons shoes at the time felt horrible. That's what helped me wanting to get out and to get better because my son deserved better then what I was before. My son saved my life I dont know what I would have done without my son. He is my everything no matter how much older he gets he will always be my baby
