Obstacles

Hello friends,
My AS is sitting in the lobby of our local hospital rehab, having been denied insurance coverage even for detox. I have spoken to him a couple of times today, but cannot do anything more. I feel I cannot speak to him or take him back home. He can go to a non-medical detox (opiates) if he wants to. I am totally drained in every way possible. I belong to a great Nar-anon group, and they are so wonderful. I am still feeling very sad. My son's dad died of his addiction almost 20 yrs. ago. I am scared too.
God bless you all for being here.
Lena

Lena, I will keep your boy in my prayers.

Hang close to your Nar-anon group right now, there is nothing like live support to get you through the tough days.

Hugs

Have you tried the local Salvation Army? I understand they offer a free drug/alcohol rehab program. Don't know about detox, though.

Lena - my prayers are with you and your son - the fear is always there but focusing on giving control to God brings comfort and strength

Thank you so much, Ann. Yes, I spoken to some naranon friends today, and will go to another meeting this week.
It is SO hard, but I know I must continue to take care of myself. We all have our own HP's.

I'm so grateful for your support, too.

Thank you all so much. My son has been accepted into a detox/rehab in our area. Thank God. It is tomorrow morning, however...so we'll be hanging in until then....the beginning.
My love & prayers for all of you, too.

Excellent news. I will be praying for your son's recovery and that you get some peace of mind knowing that he'll be treated.

Spoke too soon, folks. He is there, STILL waiting for insurance approval...on appeal.
This is the most horrible development...perhaps. I ask for your prayers that HP's will be done.
Thank you all.
Love,
Lena
