My Sister.....
....is in Jail tonight. Long story short....she got into an arguement with her fiance Saturday (they've been getting into it for 2 weeks now). She left and went to a Motel. She was supposed to check out today at 11:00. When they didn't hear from her they went to check the room. They found her unresponsive. And ambulance was called and she was taken to the emergency room....from there, she was taken to jail. The police found meth in her room.
She's 27, beautiful, and she's throwing it all away.

I am sorry to hear about this. The good thing is they found your sister and were able to get to her in time, she is alive and she has a chance to turn her life around. Pray for her.
Has she ever been to jail before? You never know, she will have time to sober up and think about the way her decisions are effecting her life.

She has been using since she was 16 years old. She's had two horrible crashes. First one she nearly broke her neck. Second one she was thrown from the vehicle and broke her femur bone. We thought she'd learn after that. But then she got addicted to the pain meds. She snorts them b/c she says it works faster. Alcohol, cocaine, crack, now meth.
She was doing great. Sober for 60 days....except the pain meds. Then she got a partial settlement. She wanted to party. Asked her fiance if he cared. Him, not knowing she was an addict (they've only been together a few months) said okay. She went down hill from there. Now, he's blaming himself. I told him if he wouldn't have agreed, she'd do it behind his back.
I wanted so bad to believe that she was on the road to recovery. I was foolish to believe she hadn't been using. I knew she quit drinking.... I guess I was hoping for the best.
I went to her house Saturday for her daughter's birthday party. She was really jittery. But I could also tell she was in alot of pain. I believed her that her jumping around was caused by the pain...she was crying and before we had gotten there, she was fighting with her fiance. So I made it make sense in my mind that that is why she was acting the way she was...pain and nerves, right? That whole night was a disaster....she stayed upstairs (I was with her most of the time) putting together little give bags and whatever for the kids. My dad had to step in and take over with the gifts and the cake. She missed it all!!! The whole family was suspicious of her actions. But I was skeptical. I wanted so bad to not believe the worst. I left there thinking she'd be dead in a year...you know, from depression and pain. She was a wreck. and I am super gallable.
I pushed her out of my life b/c I couldn't deal with her issues and mine with my husband.
Back in August, when we went on vacation, our parents invited her to go at the last minute (I was dreading her being there because of her drinking). Shortly after that, she blacked out and decided on her own that she was not going to drink again. I let her back in and believed lie after lie after lie. Yes, I'm angry. But I also understand it's the addiction. I cannot and will not help her. She called me collect, but I wasn't home from work.
It really is sad.....
Thank you for your prayers.

Oh, Jess.....I'm sorry! I've known some people that have had to do that with their siblings. Push them away and not have anything to do with them.
It's sad, but enabling is a killer.
You/your family are in my prayers!
((hugs))
