I dont know what to say> just sending you some well deserved hugs and prayers.
I have grown up children and would hate to see them go down that route.
can only imagine what you are going through

So sorry that your daughter is using. Is there anyway that you can talk to her about going into rehab? Just lay it out on the table and tell her like it is......tough love, I think works the best. You may even have to ask her to leave the house if the behavior continues and just tell her that it's totally unacceptable and you are not going to put up with it. I have 2 sons, and I would do just that if I found out either one was using drugs.....I know it's hard, very hard, stay strong and stick to you guns! oxox

I have shot coke, snorted coke, and smoked crack. I was strung out on C for a very long time. I am free of that now and I don't miss the consequences. They were at times quite brutal. I have a wealth of experience with these things and I am offering any help you may need or knowledge that I can share. Best wishes as you battle for your daughter's heart and soul. Your love for your daughter is immediately evident and very commendable. I will send you a friend request.

thats really kind of you Steve, sending you a hug too

Rachel

tried to hug you back steve but I cant.
I was thinking are thee any groups where you can get help for your daughter. but until she realizes she has a problem there is nothing you can really do.
we have groups for families of drug addicts in uk (not sure where you are)

I'm with Steve. I have snorted it, shot it and smoked crack. She needs to hit bottom first. Meanwhile, you could visit some AlAlnon meetings or NarAnon meetings. They are for friends and family of addicts. You will find great support there. My hubby attends AlAlnon meetings even though I am clean now. Because I still have addict attributes. Rehab would be great, if she was ready. Sometimes, you have to let the addict hit bottom and want to change. Thats what my hubby had to let me do and it was painful for him to watch. I finally went to a state rehab facility for a month and got clean. Show your daughter some tough love. Learn boundaries and you will learn them in AlAnon and NarAnon. Good Luck, this is a terrible disease. I have been 11 months sober and I still crave from time to time. But when I do, I get my ass to a meeting and call my sponsor. Lots of ((hugs)) and warm regards.

Narcotics Anonymous was super awesome for the next to youngest in my family. She has been clean since about 1991. She's awesome. I love my sister and I am so very proud of her. So yes, there is hope.

Thanks you guys. She went to her first AA meeting last...I was hesitant to send her to CA because I was afraid she could make connections there. She also has an appt with a counselor next week. Please keep your fingers crossed for her. xoxoxo
