Obsessed .... so hard to separate the drug from the person - but for me, it was the only way to maintain my loving feelings toward my meth-addicted daughter.

Meth is an awful, terrible, crappy drug. Addicts with YEARS clean tell me they can still get triggered by memories of using it. Those without much time have told me that they were using without EVER having a concious thought of intending to use.

Her addiction is a fierce enemy, and she sounds like a head strong gal. My prayers that she can find the strength to overcome... and to get her butt into a chair at a meeting or a bed in a rehab.

I have lists of places my kid can go - when she is ready. But I only have them for when SHE is ready to want them. But getting the information together helps me feel like I am doing something.

And I keep going to my Alanon meetings - the more I attend, the better I feel.... and the less I hate my daughter.


(((Hugs))))

Prayers going up - for you and for your beautiful daughter, Lauren.
