I HAVE FAITH IN YOU, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF TOO

FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
My nephew is here to stay with us awhile. He too has an addiction to drugs and has been fighting to stay clean for years now. You have to see this man. He is so handsome, so smart, and so full of love for other people from all walks of life.
I wish he would just love himself. I sit and listen to his stories of addiction and the street life he has lived and I am in shock of what kind of life he lives in addiction. I know he doesn't want that kind of life but when he talks to me I realized he doesn't really know any other kind.
What can I do to help him finally quit is a tough one. I don't have that answer for him right now. He is a late twenties young man and sometimes he comes across as alot younger as did I.
I am going to start off by telling you that I think you are really quite an amazing man and I mean that. I think if you put your mind to it there isn't anything that you can't accomplish.
I truly love you with all my heart my nephew. I want you to fight for your life. For your mom and dad and the ones that are closest to your heart.
I don't know what more I can do to help you other than to believe in you and be your friend. I want to tell you this in writing though. I will always be here for you son, I promise you that.
Now you have to promise me something.
I want you to fight.....fight like the street life you learned to survive on......fight......for your children so that they may get to know their dad.....fight.....for the right to live a happy life without the chaos of addiction....YOU diserve it...I LOVE YOU.
