Good Morning!

I'm sorry that you are so tired. I just caught up on your story by reading your recent posts.

As you stated, your daughter's addiction did not arrive overnight. It was gradual. Like a frog in a pot of water, the heat was gradually applied. Just as the addiction was gradual, the recovery (for you and your family) will be gradual. It takes time.

Be gentle with yourself. You are doing great by reaching out for support and information.

I am sharing a link from one of our sticky (permanent) posts. It contains steps that have worked for most of us when we applied them:

For today, try to stay in the moment. You don't have to have all the answers by 3 p.m. today, right?

Today, One moment at a time. Keep doing the next right thing. You will get there! We are here to support you!
