Today I am grateful for the memories. 

A day has yet to go by where I don't think of my dear friend Justin who passed away on June 6th, 2010.  Today I am reminded of all the wonderful memories we shared that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my life. 

I am reminded of the struggle.  The relentless urge and need that suffocates those addicted to drugs.  There is always another reason to use, another "poor me" plea to make it justified.  Unfortunately there is not always another chance to get sober. 

Drugs may destroy the body and mind but they cannot scathe the soul for that belongs to a Higher Power and when He calls you home then it is time to go.
