When Marie tells her story there's always an elephant in the room - her sons' drug addictions. In this episode Marie introduces us to her sons and tells us how they became addicted to drugs.
It's a strange thing to know your kids so well and then almost overnight, they seem to become entirely different people. That's what happened to Marie when her sons became addicted to drugs. When they were using and she tried to reach them, those funny, athletic, strong sons she raised would look back at her with vacant eyes. But when they were sober, she found her lost family again.
In this episode, Marie introduces us to those boys, the people behind the addictions. And she recounts how drugs took a hold of them.
This is the first of three episodes that will take us through Marie's roller coaster journey with the addictions of others.
