Please Welcome Ela

Ela posted this on another thread and it really deserves a thread of it's own:

Iam new to this site figured I could post something maybe someone has had the same things come up. My Husband became addicted to Oxycontin due to a back injury 5years ago he himself decided enough was enough he is 5 months clean, He entered a relapse prevention group for 9 weeks he decided to become a sponsor to someone he met there she is female she could be our daughter. OMG I think I do trust him but I dont know her from a hole in the ground, she relapsed now he wants to bring her to our home for detox again OMG told him we could help her in another way to make sure she is ok. WHAT IS HE THINKING.I know he wants to help her but its driving me insane.
Any insight would be helpful
Thx
I think you will get more responses this way Ela!

Love and hugs,

Welcome Ela. Let me get this straight. Your AH wants to tutor a young woman in your home?

(((Ela))) - Welcome to SR!!

I have to agree with the above...it is recommended that sponsorship is among the same gender, and 5 months in recovery is great....but not that long. Please remember you don't have to agree to having your home be a detox center for anyone.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I think that the gal will get better recovery with a same sex sponsor as well. We women can communicate better with other women, women..men naa..I smell Step 13 here.

Welcome, Ela! I'm afraid I don't have any ESH to share but wanted to say you're in the right place. There is lots of wisdom here. Sending you support.
