The disease takes back over
So the word on the street is that our daughter is back "out" again. It's not even been a month since she has been out of jail. Very reliable sources that I get this information.
Oh, that is just so sad.
I haven't talked to her in a few days which is another sign that things aren't good with her.
I am so grateful that my HP allowed she & I to have Good Friday together with her youngest son - shopping, visiting, taking pictures and just letting me enjoy the company of my daughter when she is not under the control of her disease.
Step 1 - I am powerless.
Just feeling the pain and sadness associated with this and constantly reminding myself that she has to walk her own path, she's writing her own story.
My prayer is that she gets to tell it one day.

Sending prayers your way for both of you.
Its so hard to see when they don't "get it" so soon after the ramifications stared them straight in the eye.
Drugs make addicts forget so much.
so sorry for you and your granddaughter.

Rita,
I am so sorry to hear this. We just never know when things will go south again. I hate the feeling of living on the edge. There is nothing we can do when this happens. I know how disappointing it is. Just like you, I am trying not to get lost in it.
Take care...........Lo

And I didn't know anything about her relapse until late last nite. My God had already planted the seed of Step 1 fresh in my mind before I got home last nite - why because He knew I would need it.

I can't; He can; I'm going to let him is the mantra that goes in my head in times like you are experiencing. I'm so sorry but I am so glad you had that beautiful day. I pray too that one day, she has her story to share so others may learn from her ESH. Mom to Mom hugs (((((Rita))))

Add my prayers for your daughter and for you too.
As "old" as it gets, the recovery/relapse/recovery/relapse revolving door, we never get used to it. But we do learn to accept it because it is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it.
I love what you said on another thread, that's it's about the same as trying to change a pine tree. WE can't do it for them or change them, but God can and will just the moment they are ready.
I got a PM this morning from an old member here whose daughter was no different from yours or from my son. Her daughter is doing very well, has been for a long time now, and it was a message of hope that I needed to read today. There is always hope. I keep mine stored in a special place in my heart right next to faith and love.
Hopefully your daughter will see the light soon and get back on a good path once again.
Hugs
