Tell us what they were like before they developed a substance use disorder*

Mark was so funny and incredibly smart. He had a huge heart and loved his friends and family.

Tell us about their struggles with substance use disorder

Mark was addicted for 8 years. Mark dabbled with almost everything and quit before starting the next drug of choice. When he started Heroin it didn't take him long to realize he couldn't "just" quit. He went to many rehabs and did many stints in jail because of illegal activity to get drugs. He made me mad and so sad because I as his mother saw his pain and couldn't make it better

What made them smile?

When others laughed, when he and his poppies would talk. When I smiled my baby smiled. Playing basketball with his friends.

What do you miss the most about them today?

Our talks and his amazing hugs!

If you had a chance to say one more thing to today what would it be?

I was proud of you, so unbelievably proud of you Love you infinity plus 1
