babyblue-
The drive to use is so powerful that NOTHING will stop it until she decides she wants help.
i get that. i really do. i really hoped that this time she WAS ready and would begin to see it through.
I am not doing anything to compromise his recovery
i do not want to compromise her recovery. but it is really hard to make this step of detaching when she is a working the streets in the ghetto. i don't think i have any power other than somehow being her friend through this. yes, i am terrified at the idea of leaving her there alone. i cannot help it. i get scared that if i detach from her, it will make her worse. i know this may be wrong thinking, but i am not able to turn it around. ther are BAD people where she is homeless. it's not like she still has a place of comfort except for that which i give her. and again, it seems i am wrong for doing it, but i dont know any other way, or i have not let myself learn another way.
