Alana Opperman's story will help you

  • get encouragement, when sometimes words are simply not enough.
  • identify with incidents and emotions.
  • realize that you are not alone.
  • help you not to feel guilty about the conflict of your emotions.

The story of Alana gives insight to her side of the events when her model daughter Carla got involved in drugs and became an addict. This young talented and stunning daughter had everything going for her.

She had the looks, the figure that turned heads, the personality. She could have become an artist, actress, intellectual. BUT she chose to become a Heroin-addict instead.

I looked through my tears at the face of my beautiful 20 year old daughter. This time, tears of laughter. She always had this thing in her to make me laugh like this. To forget all my worries. I did not laugh this much for many years, four years to be exact.

You see ... Carla is a Heroin-addict. She recently came home after her fourth rehab in four years. Even while we were sharing one of our slap-stick jokes, I was thinking: Is this as good as it gets? These are still relative early days in her recovery and I, I am optimistic about Carla's healing...but I am cautiously optimistic."

"I am writing this book from my heart of hearts. No candy-coated facts. I am not a writer. Events will not always be in chronological order. My mind is still racing back and forth. One event triggers another, and that is how I will tell my story to you.

I am not trying to tell you in this book that if you are going to do certain things, you will have a quick fix, or you will be going on a glory-train forever. I am giving you the facts about drug rehab, addiction recoverythe lies and deception, and how I coped with it, or sometimes not coped with it.

One phone-call changed our lives forever.

CLICK HERE TO ORDER NOWThe phone rang as I walked into our house after a busy day of working in the ENT specialist rooms.

It was the day before the schools re-opened after the long December holidays. I dropped Carla off at a local shopping mall during my lunch break to buy her necessary school stationery.

A strange, anxious voice was on the other end of the line. An unknown girl told me that she feels an urgency to contact me and to do something that “they" never do. (This phone call was the first of many times God would use people to intervene in our lives).

Carla would never, ever lie to me.
She never gave me any reason to mistrust her.

  • She was just a sweet 16 year old artistic teenager.
  • I did not know that her love changed overnight from art to Heroin.

I decided to pick Carla up earlier than the time we decided on. I waited, not expecting anything funny. The next moment Carla came walking from the opposite direction where I was supposed to meet her.

For a minute I felt ice-cold.

She looked very surprised when she saw me, and then suddenly she seemed in full control of the situation.

In fact, now that I think back, she looked very relaxed. Like she was half-prepared for whatever. I did not know that she was full of Heroin at the time.

... it was my 16's birthday ...

Would you like to come have a
cigarette outside with me?
"

OKAY, I said, her not knowing that I
was about to have my first cigarette...

Then before I even finished smoking,
she introduced me to cocaine.

Of course I asked her where she was. She had the correct answer ready. A friend's mom took them for coffee. She can get the mum on the phone to confirm! I asked her about the strange phone call. She laughed it off by saying she knows the girl who made the call. The girl is very jealous of her, Carla and is trying to make her life miserable. She suggested that we go to the girl there and then to sort out the “false" accusations.

I did not know that Carla was using her newly developed drug-defense technique on me.

I decided to not phone the friend's mother, neither to speak to the “mean" girl. I wonder what Carla would have done if I was awake and followed her advice.

I should have been awake
... I was fast asleep.

I was secure in the fact that I raised Carla well. That I ploughed Christian values into her all the years of her life.

I couldn't wait to get home to watch my favourite Soapies, while my child was busy walking into Satan's death trap that would brainwash her mind forever.

I did not know that Carla was already busy with almost a year sampling on and off on various, mysterious forbidden, life threatening fruits.

 Yes, who would've thought I'd turn out to be the one parents warn their children about ... and later on, appreciate just having a mattress in the corner of a prostitute's flat, never mind a clean sheet!

This is the true story of
a mother who
wouldn't give up
the heart-breaking battle of
a family who
wouldn't let go

When we got to the drug rehab centre, I remember looking at all the broken people sitting outside in the sun. To me, they looked rugged, terrible, and dangerous. Emotionless, empty eyes staring at me. All ages from 18 – 72 years. I was so scared, so afraid of what some of them might do to my baby-girl.

When I left the building, I sadly realised Carla was one of them! Addiction recovery in a drug rehab centre!

This revelation to myself was too much for me. There was no escaping reality anymore:

MY BABY-GIRL IS A DRUG ADDICT !!

The only thing that separates Carla from a homeless drug addict on the street, is my endless love for her.

A sadness filled me, it felt like someone literally ripped my heart open. The feeling was so real. I parked outside the drug rehab centre in a parking area. I could not even cry. My pain was bigger than my crisis. I sat there like a wounded animal for almost an hour.

3 attempts of drug rehab didn't help ... and we find a mother in despair. Having little money, her family is now staying with a friend. At a time of public outcry against the Noupoort Christian Care Centre, Carla relapses ...

I had more than enough than I could cope with. I told Carla if she relapses again, she would be going to Noupoort. You see, in South Africa, Noupoort is the ultimate drug rehab an addict gets threatened with. If nothing helps...

There was just one thing to do: I locked Carla and myself together in my friends' house for about 10 days.

This time the whole Heroin-hell-detoxing-process, her pleading for Heroin, her convulsions, her disorientation, her suicide attempts, her running away attempts, was a hundred-and-ten times worse than ever before. I don't know how I kept my sanity, I just did it.

I was aware of God's presence with me, I was not alone. But I must tell you, Satan was also there, trying his last attempts to kill and destroy. Satan will not respect Carla's choice to become clean and walk into God's plan for her life. Satan has his own plans for her, and she was almost, almost in process of fulfilling it.

I knew Noupoort was better than a mortuary slab,
a dark alley in an unknown neighborhood,
a jail or for my child to be a
prostitute on the streets.

Let this book touch you right NOW
where-ever you are at; and within minutes

Alana tells in conversation-style about things she needed to know. How she learned them and how she coped with it, or sometimes not coped with it.

She offers hope, by talking about hard realities:

  • How Carla turned from leader to drug addict - in one day.
  • Four Rehabs
    • The Heroin-hell-detoxing-process (The convulsions, disorientation and pleading for Heroin)
    • The suicide attempts
    • The running away attempts
    • The relapses and Cold Turkeys
    • God's presence
  • How Carla mastered the technique in leading a complete double life. How she said (and even prayed) exactly what her mother wanted to hear.

    "I wanted to come right so badly, but I couldn't, I actually simply refused to allow anyone in my head. Maybe I was just too scared about what they would find. I was stubborn, confused, manipulative, twisted and tainted. I was also way too open-minded, I say that 'cause nothing shocked me, nothing was sin to me for that matter." Carla Opperman

  • How Heroin completely took over her life as mother.
  • How she became totally co-dependant.
    • How she also became an addict; she just did not use the drug.

  • How she found her child in Satan's playground, and boldly walked in to rescue her.
  • The depression

    Statistics show that a drug addict affects at
    least sixteen people closest to him/her forever.

  • Tough Love SA - a life-supporting Support group for people and families that are trapped with loved ones with behaviour problems.

    "They were about to change my life" Alana Opperman

  • Noupoort Christian Care Centre

    "I am convinced that in the hierarchy of rehabs, there is a place for a drug rehabilitation center like Noupoort. This is the one place where they really prepare a drug addict for an uncompassionate world outside, waiting for them." Alana Opperman


  • Alana offers practical advice with a
    • Prayer for a child who is addicted or in drug rehab
    • and this Contract of love
      • It is an example of a contract between you and the person in addiction recovery
      • a family contract
      • a trust contract
      • sometimes not worth much in the legal department, but blood is thicker than water
      • it can save your child's life.

P.S. - People die from drugs, children go to jail for drugs, they go into prostitution for drugs. We need to be better informed about this. Here is the ideal tool to see how a mother struggled, and on the other hand, how her Heroin-addicted daughter was manipulating the situation. And we see the mother coming to terms with the situation and get streetwise and drugwise.

P.P.S. - One day you will listen to wise comments or advice and you will think: “That person knows what she is talking about, she is really making a difference in these meetings” ... just to realize it is your own voice you're hearing. You are now the one that learned so much through your pain and experiences, that you are the one helping others. You are stronger.

You can download "MY CHILD" right now, even if it's 2am in the morning! It can change your life!
