Welcome to SR, desertflower, and thanks for posting your story. I'm sorry about your father's passing. Well done on one week. Post here as often as you want and read around the forum - there's lots of information on different recovery methods and programs.

My drug of choice was alcohol but I can completely relate to what you say about the dismal abyss of addiction. You're doing great to be climbing your way out of that abyss.

As well as this Newcomers subforum, you might find Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information useful, as there are many posters there with the same DOCs as you.

As for this family member, is there any way you can put some distance between them and you for the time being? Or tell them that you no longer take Percs? Once they know you're getting clean, it might be easier for you not to ask them for anything.
