My daughter Meghan struggled with heroin addiction for what I believe to be many years. At first her family started recognizing the signs, and she would always have an excuse. Her friends, led her down the wrong path. She would always deny that she needed any kind of treatment and could stop on her own. We tried threats and reasoning, forcing her to rehab did not work because she would sign herself out. We could not give our consent (as parents) because she was of legal age. Even went to court to try to have her committed. Until one day she admitted to me she was an addict and needed help. She attempted on many occasions seeking treatment but could never follow through. All it took was one time and never could stop. She had a hard time coping with life and was making bad choices in her life and couldn't handle it. We would have done anything for her, but the love and support we gave her didn't matter, because this drug controls you inside and out. She had been trying to stop for the past four months and was going through withdrawal that was simply unbearable. Until the night of 08/30/2014 a close friend that knew how she was struggling with the addiction handed her a lethal dose and caused her to die so tragically that morning in her room on the floor.
