Where are you at and do you have an email address?
If possible go back to stay with your mother and take your teenage boys with you. Before you can comment to a better life for your children you must first make a commitment to yourself. What is more important in your life the drugs and the harm that it does to you pysically and mentally. Or a life that is drug free. And a feeling that money can;t buy. You do this yourself and for a better future with your children. Humble yourself and say what you mean and mean what you say to a power that you feel is greater than yourself. Belief in what you pray can and will happen. And watch the miracles you never dreamed of begin a new life for you and your children. leave your past let it go , place that road behind you. Stop blaming yourself and others for the reason you choose to get high. We can't begin to move forward if we keep living for yesterday.
