Here's an American family that did everything right -
or appeared to.
 

Cheryl Sales and her husband Todd were involved parents, carefully selecting what schools their children attended.  Strong Christian beliefs and regular church attendance were their bedrock.  Yet by age 16, their son Josh was having trouble fitting in.  In their own words, they tell the story of Josh's growing drug addiction, his trouble with the law, and his difficult recovery.

Signs that there may be a drug problem
