About Darryl in his words
My oldest of two boys, Chase, attended college on a football scholarship. He dropped out in the second semester of his freshman year after developing a drug addiction. When I first learned of Chase's drug habit, I didn't know anything about substance use disorders, and I panicked. I made a lot of parenting mistakes. Through an intervention, we were able to get Chase into treatment, but I didn't realize the proper role of the family in the recovery process. In some ways I was enabling Chase and doing things that may have contributed to his eventual relapse. I worried about Chase constantly, but it seemed as though my efforts to help him only made matters worse. Chase returned home from treatment and was doing well with his recovery at first, but months later, he relapsed and in 2014 at the age of 20, Chase died in a drug-impaired wreck. Chase was a passenger in the front seat of his own car. The 18-year-old driver took her own life 7 months later. After Chase died, I immersed myself in learning everything I could about substance use disorders. (drug & alcohol addiction). I wrote a book about Chase's life. I began doing drug prevention speaking. I read books about addiction, attended seminars, and watched videos. I volunteered to facilitate a peer support group for parents with children struggling with a substance use disorder. There is no cure for a substance use disorder, but I have discovered steps parents can take to give their child the best opportunity at recovery.
