John I will begin my story with a beautiful blue eyed blond hair young man named Cody who lived in a small town. He enjoyed playing basketball, football and baseball everything was going great, until he was introduced to cocaine and heroin Then everything started to fall apart, it was small at first but continued to get worse as time passed. His mom and I put Cody in several halfway houses over the years it helped for awhile then he would start back. His mom and I had come to a point where we had to make a harsh decision that he was not welcome to come home while using these drugs. There were some of our closest friends & family that could not believe we could do this to our son. Yes, it was hard to do but we were at the end of our rope. If he was to continue to kill himself we were not going to watch. Yes, some call it tough love some call it cruel but we looked at it as a 50/50 chance that we would either get our son back or we would have to plan a funeral for him. Since that time, Cody came home one day and asked for help we sent him away to Ocean Breeze. They helped Cody start recover and is still recovering and doing good as of today. l truly hope this short story will help some family make a hard decision that my help save their child's life.
