Birthday with Erick



Well, Becca and I were able to spend most of the day with Erick and Darwin, our two young men who are fighting drug addictions and have been removed from the project until they go through rehab. They are at opposite ends of the spectrum: Darwin is getting ready to enter a residential rehab program tomorrow; Erick is still completely out-of-control of his addictions. I was able talk to Erick at length for his birthday lunch today (he turned 16). I put his situation in front of him as clearly as I could, and asked him to make the decision to begin to work towards healing. He was listening, but it was still obvious that he was filtering everything I said through the fog of drugs and the strong desire to consume. We will continue to pray for them both tomorrow. We took these pictures of Erick and Darwin at our little birthday outing today. Thanks for your continued prayers...

Hi!
Nice Blog!
Change Your Life Today What has drug abuse done to your life? Are you overwhelmed, confused, out-of-control? Looking for a Drug Rehab Treatment?

Drug addiction is something that is not planned. A person struggling with drug addiction changes. They don't seem to be the person they used to be. In dealing with an addict, the drug becomes the deciding factor for all aspects to their life. An addiction drug rehab program is the farthest thing from their mind. Family, work, friends are all damaged by the addiction. It isn't hopeless and it doesn't have to be. The drug rehab program at Synergy Treatment's drug rehab facility is always here for drug rehab help.
