well- as I battle with drinking- which I am doing well in my opinion, but not there yet, and not proud of my own struggles but anyway- just got a call from my 18 yr old (bipolar) daugher who moved out a year ago to live with her boyfriend who is obviously doing oxy or H (I know what it looks like- can see it a mile away- pupils, slow speech etc)...which I hated but whatever. She is now addicted to oxy and is going through withdrawals- she just called me and throwing up etc etc (she says 2 days without- who the heck knows). You know...what the crap else could happen....Happy Mothers Day! If i didnt have a sense of humor i have no idea how i would be.....another dub vent. I think I might watch a comedy movie or something, this is crazy.

sorry to hear about your daughter, i hope she is alright.

She can always call 911.. hope you find some time for yourself today...she is making her own choices, but I'm sure that is incredibly difficult for you to stand by and watch.

dedubya

yes it is

Does she live near you?
If she does it may be a good idea to go and keep an eye on her if you can to make sure she is OK and take her to a doctor or emergency if need be.
My thoughts are with you.

Comedies is what I reach for when times are bad, nothing like mindless entertainment that makes me laugh (no matter how many times i've seen it!). Good release of good-feel endorphins (I think? who cares, right? It works!) Sorry about daughter, may she find her own recovery path and may you stick to yours, despite the struggles. Progress not perfection. One day at a time.

I think there needs to be a full on family intervention.

I hope your daughter will seek the help she needs Dub.

And, stay strong and show her that there is hope of living a sober life.

Will be thinking of you. I know how hard it is when it is your child.

well we are all going out to eat with my wife/mother of my children- should be interesting.... I cant imagine my Paige being hungry now, but at least she is trying...wow- could a metiorite (sp) drop on my house now- thats about all that is left. I do love life, and think I am having a positive impact on her.....maybe i am dreaming. what the heck.

I am sorry dub about your daughter.
I cant begin to imagine anything like that.
I hope things work out and I hope you find some peace and rest soon.
Hope your dinner went well.
Hang in there.

Hang in there Dubs, hope things gets on an even keel for you and your family. You're in my thoughts.

Love,

well- the dinner went great- she was in a good mood (and had called earlier in the day to go to the dr for oxy withdrawal, crying etc...) anyway the dinner was great and everyone had a good time. I think maybe she 'chipped' and thats not good- but I dont know. She didnt eat- just took all of her food back to her place....I dont know what to think.
love to all

sounds like she got a fix before dinner..... being only 2 days into oc or heroin withdrawal and crying// throwing up earlier that day there is no way she would feel good and normal that night unless she had taken more opiates.

My advice : get her outta that relationship with her boyfriend and move her back home or get her own place or something. that guy is poison
