I mentioned in another post my sister and the rest of the family is dealing with our grandmother passing away. Funeral is Tues.
The good news is her doctor agreed to give her two days worth of methadone "carries" while she is out of town. If she tests clean again on Wed she'll get two more for Xmas and Boxing Day. Then it's back to the routine weekly sessions and taking her methadone daily at the pharamacy. The doctor told her she was pleased with her progress, but its still too early for too many carries.
So a bit of positive news on the getting clean side of things, but still so many frustrating incidents of her being childish and selfish. One example: Her and her bf are in a tough financial spot, with her not bringing in much money at the moment. She's being haphazard about paying the bills. He suggested cancelling cable and internet, and she blew up that he was punishing her "for just missing paying one bill" (we suspect whatever money she makes is paying off drug and other debts...which is fine if she'd just be honest that's where her money is going...but she still tries to hide it).
Soooo....a mixed bag of progress. Better on the addiction side, depressingly slow on the mental/maturity side. Still 30 going on 13.
