They need to learn how to deal with their reality, and the systems must change in order for them to do so. Society seems to be scrambling because now the face of addiction can be any of us. It is at epidemic stage and it is all you read and hear about on the news. This is not a new disease, and this is not something that has just recently start to affect the ordinary person. This young man was not the typical face of addiction, you would not have picked him out of a crowd, as being the one to turn out to be a heroin addict, but he did. She feels that addiction is not only a serious mental health issue, but should also be staged like any other disease that has the capability of taking a person's life. For some of these addicts, rock bottom is death.

Born in New York City in 1952, when life seemed simpler and without the complexities of our new world, B. L. Marks is a nurse who has worked in the ob-gyn field for more than thirty years. She had a beautiful son and daughter. She and her husband worked very hard to keep their young and tumultuous marriage together. It is not true what they say; people do change. Both she and her husband succeeded in having a marriage that worked. That was what she was taught to do: make it work. She went to parochial schools in the 1960s and felt that the wrath of God came down on her when her beautiful son became a heroin addict. In spite of all her tragedy, she finds great joy in her beautiful daughter and her first grandchild. She regrets that her son will never know this child because he would have loved him immensely. She is stronger than she thought she was. Now, she wants to change how society approaches the treatment and recovery of addicts.
