The holidays can be a time of unspeakable pain for families when they have a member who is trapped by addiction.

 

Kim and Michelle Humphrey worked hard to give their two boys a good life, but that life crumbled when both boys became addicted to heroin. The years that followed were full of heartache, fear and unbearable stress, and nearly cost the couple their marriage, their savings and their lives.

 

In desperation, they attended a group called Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL) and learned how to set loving boundaries and to find support from other parents going through the same challenges. Not only did the Humphreys get their lives back, but both boys found ultimately found sobriety and success. Today, Kim is the CEO and Executive Director of PAL.
