IN THE DARK

A Mother’s Reflections on her Son’s Addiction and Recovery

By: Nancy Kuykendall

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

My oldest son was an addict for twenty years. Cigarettes, meth, and alcohol ruled his life. The title, IN THE DARK, describes both his life and mine. He walked the dark path of addiction. I lived in the dark because of my naivety. I knew nothing about drugs or addiction. I was at a loss to recognize or understand the signs and knew little of what was going on in his life. The stories shared in this book are my reflections on the journey I traveled as I dealt with my son’s addiction and then recovery. He found his way out of the dark. He survived. These reflections are meant to offer hope to mothers struggling with their child’s addiction. There is hope.
