good grief! i'm sick of this!
 

dropped her off at rehab, got in the car after an emotional good bye. realized - SHE SNUCK HER CELL PHONE AND HER IPOD IN! she had them in the car on the way there, and there were no where to be found. no electronics allowed, they ask and told her like 10 times during the check in. i'm so sick of this, i could scream!

Oh My What can I say. Anvilhead is right, get one for me too while your at it!!!
Love,
Diane

in the words of embraced2000 a few days back - bleccchhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

mocha it is. on me, for the house..

Sounds good. You know one thing that I have found about our addict children is that they think they know best. Hopefully she will learn that she doesn't:) Hugs to you and enjoy the mocha. Marle

going out the door now, a nice mocha and shoe shopping. then, going to fix a nice dinner for my husband and i and take the night off.

Stopping in for my mocha ... LOL... prayers for your daughter. The rehab will deal with those items if they find them, not to worry. Let them handle it, they're used to it.

So glad you r going out & enjoying your day!
Love,
Diane

i agree with the others, the rehab will deal with it all now, i'll keep her and you guys in my prayers

parent,
Yep, it's her problem now. Drink your Mocha and don't worry your pretty little head.

SHE"S IN REHAB!!!!!! *****!!!!!!


Hugs, and enjoy.....

Scream away, then enjoy your night!

she got there.... now go be good to you. kids....addicts....!!!!!! scream.....

Parent, Alls they will do with her stuff is lock it up with her name on it untill she gets out, or send it back with you after a visit. Worst case senerio it gets stolen, & well, she could only be upset with herself.

I just got back from dropping my daughter off at detox. I'm so relieved she went. It was in the total boonies. I gave our GPS a try for the first time. I tell ya if I didn't have that, I would be at Greets house about now with AD still in tow. Looking forward to a good nights sleep.

Praying for you & your daughter. Hugs

I'm so glad both your daughters are safe tonight and you can sleep easy. Please take that extra "me" time.

Parents, my theory on the cell phones and other forbidden gadgets is that it is ours kids' way of thinking they have some control over the situation. I think in general part of addiction is the thrill, the mental high of doing something daring. To let go of all of that is tough I guess. Let's hope that this is the last holdout before she is really ready to surrender and admit she is powerless over addiction.

I'll throw in a story in hopes it brings a smile. The last time Kristen was in rehab, she also managed to keep her cell phone somehow...hung onto it for almost the full month. There was one close encounter. She had a nightmare and woke early and called me from the bathroom in their apartment. (I figured out she had the cell then since it was so early, but I was starting to "get" that it was her deal, not mine to control) A housemate overheard her talking in there and told Kristen's counselor that she was worried about her because she heard her talking to herself. The counselor asked me on the next call if it was possible she had a cell and I told her yes, explained what happened. Somehow she never had the cell taken away. Fast forward to two days before she was being discharged. There's a knock on the apartment door and they say Kristen we know you have a cell, hand it over. Turns out she loaned the cell to another roommate to call her aunt. The aunt wasn't home, the girl left a message saying hi. The aunt heard the message, saw the caller id and an area code that was not Florida where the rehab was and called the rehab insisting that her niece ran away and was somewhere in NJ. Busted...It was one of those moments she shared where we laughed...I'm so glad I had enough recovery under my belt to enjoy the moment and share the laughter. :)

Agree with all above... if it was that easy to sneak in the contraband - they would have all the drugs they wanted inside! The search of belongings was like a four hour thing at checkin when my kids went to rehabs.

I like the idea of her getting caught and having to be responsible for the act and then the possible consequences. A real learning experience.

Hoping your time "off" is absotively WONDERFUL!! ((hugs))

thank you. thank you. thank you. i'm feeling better today. and i got new red shoes :)
