"I would now like to say that Cody is the “ Face of Recovery” instead of “ The face of Heroin and Meth” ......
It’s so crazy to think that just A year ago I put that post on FB updating everyone on Cody Bishop letting them know that he was still homeless and fighting his addiction. Little would I know that the post would lead to him getting help and sober today! The road has not been easy for him or all of us involved but I could never be more thankful for having my son alive and sober today! For all those that I have never met who have prayed daily and/or helped in any way I could never thank you enough! Today Cody is sober, working full time, has A relationship with his family and his daughters! God is so good and we are all so blessed. Thank you to everyone! I have my son back, my kids have their brother back and my Granddaughters have their Daddy!
Here is the post from a year ago..

Thank you everyone... Cody Bishop has been found and currently in A rehab facility where he is starting his road to recovery.
The face of heroin and meth...... is reality for so many people and families in this world today. This may be long so i apologize. For my family and friends who know me know that my oldest son Cody Bishop is suffering from his addiction. I am hesitant on sharing but many people ask how things are going so I feel I should share. I have learned along this path that so many people and families deal with the same heartache but just do not talk about it. This is A true issue in our world today that we need to pull together and focus on to fix instead of the government worrying about and spending all their money on throwing each other under the bus.
Update..... Cody is still homeless in Las Vegas and I have not heard from him in weeks now. Hearing how bad he is doing is hard but not hearing at all is worse. The unknown is what makes A person not sleep at night. It is hard to understand how someone who has families and children who love and need them live the life they do. I have turned it over to God and pray that he decides he is tired of living like this and wants to come home to get help. Through social media I have came along so many great people that have crossed his path over time through his past rehab. They have A great support team with each other that is amazing and I appreciate those who have reached out trying to help. I just want to say thank you to those who have talked to him and thank you for all the prayers. This is not just A problem that my family faces but almost everyone knows someone who has A drug/ heroin addiction. I pray for strength for those suffering and healing for their families and friends. FYI.... these pictures were taken 7 months apart. That is how fast someone is effected.... let’s get ahold of this issue America and help each other. Thanks again for everyone’s love and support. And Cody is you see this please call us... we love you! Cody Bishop"

I can't even imagine going through this type of thing. :( A guy I used to work with had his 24 year old son die of an overdose a couple of years ago.
Quite a few years back my former neighbor across the street lost her 30 year old son to an overdose. Obviously that's always the hammer waiting to fall with addicts. Such a tragic situation.

This is the post of the day as far as I'm concerned.

Still sad for the family dealing with it. Been there, done that with two cousins.
Yes my wife's nephew and his dad (way out in Arizona) are both lifelong weed-head burnouts with a smattering of harder drug use also. Total oxygen thieves.
