My son was an iv heroin user at 19. He wore the long sleeves. The nodding out.
He lived at home off and on. He stole. He went to jail.
Update...
He's 25. Clean for 2 years from heroin. Yes, he has smoked pot and drank alcohol.
Recently he went into an emergency room for mental health due to anxiety attacks.
Will be seeing a psychiatrist on October 2nd. As of right now, he's on Seraquil (sp. ?)
Things do get better as long as "we", you and I get better.
Read about codependency and enabling. You may have to have her leave your home if she is, in fact, using again. Only for yourself and your other family members' sake.
I had my son leave last year. He's been through alot since then, but he's grown up more in the last year than he ever has. I believe, in my heart, it's due to my detaching. With love, of course. It can be done, sweetie. You just need the strength.
Ask HP to guide you and pray for your little girl.
Ya wanna talk? PM me anytime. I'm always here. This is my lifeline to recovery from codependency. I'm glad you found us.
Remember...
1. You didn't cause it
2. You can't control it
3. You can't cure it
All said with love, prayers, and understanding,
