Overcoming addiction â our prodigal son
Overcoming addiction â our prodigal son
| Friday, April 23, 2021
Our family has experienced the agony of a prodigal son. In early 2000s we hit a season of great despair when our son, Evanâwho was in his late teensâwas addicted to drugs and alcohol. Each year, it is estimated that 95,000 people die from alcohol-related causes, making alcohol the third-leading preventable cause of death in the United States. (Source:Â NIAAA, 2020)Â
