Families Against Drugs

Families Against Drugs is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Faith Based Organization providing support for families dealing with addiction. The funeral was the worst.

My brother, Sean Daniel McLarty passed away March 28,2011. God gave him to our family for 30 wonderful, short years. I remember everything that happen the night I was told that my brother passed away.The detectives came into our house and I stayed in my room because I was too afraid to know what was going to happen. Daddy came in my room throwing Lucy (my dog) in my room, balling his eyes out, saying you're dead... I couldn't believe what I just heard, I thought to myself. I went straight to Robert's (my big brother) room and just hugged him so tight and told him what had happened to you. Robert held me so tight and then Daddy came in there telling Robert to go comfort Mom and I just fell onto Robert's floor crying my eyes our by the door, listening to what the men were saying in our living room. That was the MOST heartbreaking night I have ever had in my entire life. Whenever they told me that you were found dead by that maid in the hotel room, I just crashed. I thought to myself, "Sean, why were you two hours away from us?" "What were you running away from?" "Why did this have to happen to us?" The nights got more worse as the days went on. I never cried so hard for someone in my life. This is why I'm doing this. Sean's dream was to get this GOING. So that's what I HAVE to do. For Sean

God loves YOU

I am a recovered drug addict. I am a convicted felon. I barely graduated high school because of bad choices. I’ve been arrested more times than I can count. I never thought I deserved love. I didn’t think I’d ever meet a man that thought I deserved to be treated like a princess. I didn’t think I’d ever have a good job. I didn’t think any employer would ever trust me. I didn’t think I would ever have my son back. I didn’t believe I had it in me to be the mom he deserved. I never thought I’d have my own house, I didn’t think banks would lend to a criminal. I didn’t think I would be accepted in church. I didn’t think proper people would ever want me around. I didn’t believe in myself and I didn’t think God believed in me either.

Shewwwwwwww.

He said “child, just watch.”

Addiction has been broken over my life. Generational curses gone! Home owner of a beautiful home! I am a loving mother to my children! He gave me a Godly, amazing, funny, good looking husband! He said work hard and you’ll own a business one day! We’ve been open for over a year! He said be faithful to your church and plant your roots!!! We are blessed with the best church that we love and they love us in return! He said tell others about me, and we did! My husband and I get to testify about recovery and Jesus all over the world!!!

Whatever it is that you dream God has bigger plans. Believe it, receive it and don’t ever give up!!!

Our Story

Families Against Drugs was the vision of my son, Sean McLarty. He wanted to help families who struggle with addicted loved ones. Sadly, Sean lost his own battle on March 28, 2011 from an overdose of what we believe was a drug called bdo. After Sean’s death we picked up his dream and are carrying on to help others by sharing our story. Families Against Drugs is a 501(c)3 registered non-profit charity. We provide support to families through our website and through our fb page. We provide overdose awareness and hold an event on overdose awareness day to help our community understand the signs of overdose and what can be done to help people who are experiencing an overdose. We also provide a scholarship each year called The Sean Daniel McLarty Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to local people in recovery who are continuing their education. We owe everything we have accomplished to God and give Him all the Glory. We are not doctors, lawyers or therapists. We are simply a family who knows the devastating effects of addiction. We reach out to others who are going through what we went through and let them know that they are not alone in their struggles. We do not judge others. We know that addiction can happen to any family at any time. God Bless You.

Below is the story from our daughter about the night we found out that our Sean died.
