Hi 
, my son, my beautiful son, Joshua.\nHis birthday is july twenty sixth. You see, I will never give up hope. And I pray to the Lord to have my children soften their hearts. I have not seen my family since 2014.. They were in their 30s, by the way, when mom had lied to them. Too many times\n And that is yet for some of you, you don't think it'll happen to you. Trust me. Anyhow, because it is a special occasion. I always would pick up\n Crack pipe.\n Liquor smack anything. I'm surprising myself.\nI tried for 8 years to get them back. I'm proud of myself because i'm realizing and I write down all of my triggers that I will put myself first to thine own.self be 
true and realize.\nThat the good Lord has them.\nAnd will always take care of them.\nAnd not to fret. Complacency, add a specially\nA terrible ego and self-pityI am learning just to say no to all. God bless y'all and I hope you have a safe and wonderful weekend.\nAnd always remember 
get that positive mindset going do not sabotage yourself. One Day at a Time.\n Addiction is a tricky thing, but we can master our future with harmony , peace and the above all honesty , and to give to others. Be KIND to yourselves

You should be very proud of yourself for being able to recognize your triggers and handling them. Families tend to be the hardest to win back but it’s not impossible. Just keep trying, and hopefully they will reach back out to you sooner than later.
