About Rick and Betsy

Rick and Betsy live in a beautiful town in the world’s horse capital. Both are retired, Rick from IBM/Lexmark and Betsy from the local school system.

This is our first book to help make parents aware and educate them on how serious drug addiction is in America, what to look for, and where to get help. When we first learned our son had an addiction problem, we didn’t have a clue!

Drugs are everywhere, and we want to inform parents what their kids will see on the street. What to look for in your home and how to talk with your children.  We must educate ourselves and our children about these deadly street drugs. Taking drugs used to be an easy way to get a good high, but today, it is a death sentence.

We hope our knowledge from our 13 years of family addiction will help others understand how serious this problem is. There is hope, and treatment is available.

Don’t give up on your loved one!
