(((Marle)))

I just saw the last few posts
I am so sorry the roller coaster ride is continuing

this is such a difficult period she is going through
early recovery is so hard

she is over the "honeymoon" period but not solid enough to appreciate the sober life....

as with my son, it sounds like the mental health issues that initiated the "self medicating" in the first place still remain and need to be addressed

of course the ball is in her court and she needs to be willing

my son went through many similar times...
90 days seems to be a milestone (for good or bad)
the long term recovery facility was beneficial b/c even when he wasn't willing he was in an environment that supported him until he picked up his recovery again
it happened like that more than once!

his biggest challenge now is stabilizing his mental health issues

recovery is so much more than refraining from substance abuse

Megan is in my prayers
I pray something will trigger in her the desire to stay the course despite the struggle
if so, perhaps looking into a recovery house where she can develop lifeskills and recovery relationships would be an option

Marle...I am praying for you and your family
(((Blessings)))
