Sisters Are Addicts
Well I originally came here because my ex fiancee' is an alcoholic but decided to venture into this part of the forum.
My mom used to be addicted to prescription pain pills. I do not know the deal on that now as she says she no longer takes them. I remember her going through agony to get off of them with doctors help.
My twin sister is addicted to pain pills and would use heroin sometimes. She has now been on methadone daily for the last almost 2 and a half years.
My younger sister is addicted as well, or at least I highly suspect it. She is constantly trying to find ways to get pills and sometimes my mom would enable her. In fact, my mom is slipping her muscle relaxers for some medical condition going on.
I don't know I guess I just wanted to open up about it. My twin sis and I are close but she is not the same and I hate it.
Do people ever get off methadone? She cries saying she wants to come off of it and misses her old life but I wonder if this ever even happens. We get along well and everything and talk almost daily but sometimes she sounds high and stuff and it bugs me.
I feel like my family is one big mess.

Alot of us feel that was,cmjames84.We come here to share our stories of addiction and
codependency......and know we are not alone.
The addict I came here for was on oxy---and I am sure heroin by now (inevitable).
She lost everything...home,husb,family---even her trash wheels.I tried to help her in
every way I could.
It took SR to open my eyes to behaviors of MINE that didn't make sense.
I hope it helps you,too............

Welcome to the other F&F forum.
Yes....having an addict in the family and the behaviors that ensue with other family members can make for a big mess.
We can't really do anything to clean up the mess that others make of their lives but we can certainly do what we need to do to minimize the collateral damage in our own.
