Use Austin for your strength

In the end, Austin was a meth addict. He battled drug addictions for almost 10 years. In and out of rehabs. He was so far into the addiction with the last 1 1/2 years of his life injecting meth.
He was tired, tired of fighting the evil of meth.
Austin took his life 1 year ago August. I encourage everyone to visit his memorial website, to light a candle, to read his story. May Austin's story scare the hell out of you, make you cry and give all the strength to fight the addiction. Hold Austin close to you.

" Thank you jmarie..... I think everyone here should read his story. I know I for one can relate to the hopeless feeling that must have been his reason for taking his own life... sometimes death seems to be the easier way out.... "

" Sad but i think alot of people will die from using meth. I use GOD as my strength, what I have found out you can't scare a meth addict back into rehab. Actually to fight the addiction, you just have to give up and work a program. You don't really have to fight it at all, that is up to god. "

" Hi jamrie luv ya girl.Ive not been on this site in a while and its no ones fault that I quit trying to help those in need and to help them find a solution but what may be my fix may very well not be anyonelses fix so here we are at that cross roads where the financialy challenged dont get the proper help they need and the really sick ones have lost the faith of their loved ones so the sick get sicker and eventually that being that God so purposely put together ends up in prison or worst of all dead.I know where jmarie is coming from my son was waxed on xanax living w/ an addict twice his age and had the world in front of him to be a great productive member of our society but things went wrong one night and he chose the easy way out and hung himself,Ill never be able to erase the deep groaning crys of the news Id recieved that night at 11:10pm .Folks if you are not an addict and you have a family member that is and you dont continuously try to help that member then you might as well be the poison that kills them.We as humans are to carry oneanothers burdens and do all we can to help the wounded and sick remember dont be mad at the person but be mad at the drug and treat it as an illness a disease that can be cured but I told you so's and I knew it's or thats the choice you made wont heal jack it takes pure love and concern,effort and most of all enteraction w/that loved one and even if its not a loved one do it for anyone then when that ole devil sends his demons to destroy your family you can be ready .Now all of those that are in your addiction stay tunned to daily strength there are hundreds of ways to get help but all of them have one thing in common stop using get help.No money no problem go to AA,NA,or church and someone will help you on that much needed road to recovery.With Much Luv Deral.
