Hugs Addiction Mood
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 | A Frustrating story

Well my sister is in the hospital (mental ward) for the third time in 2 weeks.

This is getting to be a really strange pattern, because everytime she run out of

vicodin, she wants to be admitted.

 

She has a horrible addiction problem, her dr sent her home with

150 tabs  1,000 milligrams each, she went t hru them in one week!!!!

she is gonna kill herself if i dont intervene soon. Im planning on calling

her dr and letting him know what is actually going on with her pain meds.

 

I just put in a call to her dr as i type, my sister will hate me forever, but she

will at least be alive. I feel like a damn trader doing this to her, but i want her

to live.

 

She knows shes an addict and has been for years and has been thru treatment

programs for it, i think its time she went back to treatment for addiction.

 

Sorry im just rambling on cause in nervous how she is gonna react.

 

Thats all for now.   Lexi

    Easy response. I would do the same thing. I would have also told the doctor to keep my 'report' confidential and let him handle it without effecting me (which he will probably do). Absolutely, if I thought my sister was harming herself, I would do whatever I needed to do to stop it. No problem as I see it.

    She just called me from the hospital and i decided to tell her it was me, so no one else would be blamed. She is livid to say the least, says will never speak to us, me , her boyfriend, daughter and daughters boyfriend ever again. I expect more.................. later. hugs lexi

    It bothers me that you would have to tell, that her doctor wouldn't be keeping an eye on this. You absolutely did the right thing hon. When she gets "sober" she might think differently. Whether she does or not, you did the right thing.

    I was given vicadin at the emergency room when I was having mysterious headaches... on my next visit to my GP, he threw them in the trash in front of me, because of my addiction history. Her doctor should notice how many she is going through, and since he didn't, you did good hon.

    I think you did the right thing and I am so proud of you. She will be livid for awhile, of course, but I do believe when she starts on the road to recovery that she will understand that you did what you needed to do and she will appreciate you for that.

    {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} and you DID do the right thing!!

    Im with the others Lexi - I think you did the right think - at least she will be alive and I will be praying that she relizes that and can forgive you - she needs to know that you did it cuz you loved her - if you did not care you would not have bothered - take care my friend

    Lexi by all means you did the right thing. of course you feel like a traiter but you are not. you are a hero.she is an addict and right now she is letting her disease control everything she is doing,and saying.she will come around but it has to be when she is in recovery.

    Thank God that you did tell the dr.you have saved her life! when i hit ny bottom i was mad at the whole world and i hated everyone in it.now i am so very greatful for the ones that stood up and did my intervention. i love you girlfriend and i am so proud of you,

    you did what was right....and she will come back to you and those stated ..right now she is mad and that is part of the process but i know first hand about the na to vicodin and it is evil and it takes away your ability to think straight and see what in life is good for you as any addiction does with this said know that she will come around and i would think that she would be thankful when she sees the other side of life without vicodin....dont expect it right now but it will come and you most certainly did her a favor if you need to talk to me i am here lex -im serious i know first hand about addiction to vicodin soo dont hesitate to seek support love you lots Amber

    I hope she doesn't stay mad at you for long. Once she gets clean, she will thank you for doing it.
