Addiction affects over 165 million Americans ages 12 and up. This includes abusing drugs and/or alcohol and this number is growing every year. Of those 165 million Americans there is a mom, dad, sister, brother, wife, husband, son, daughter or grandparent praying and pleading for them to just stop. If only it was that easy as one family from Checotah unfortunately knows as they had to say goodbye to their son at the beginning of this year.
