I guess in her warped way she considers not shooting heroin means that she is not that bad yet. I told her that YET was the big question mark. She also didn't remember that she still had health insurance and when we told her 90 days of rehab would only cost her $2500 she said that was a lot of money and then turned around and told me she was at least $10,000 in debt. Addict thinking is so frustrating. One can really see the damage that has been done. I just know that there is not one thing that I can do to help her. And there is not one thing that I want to do to help her. Strange that a year ago, I would have jumped through hoops to give her back that middle class lifestyle. Today I just pray that she lives long enough to gain back some semblance of a life. Hugs, Marle
