AD taking baby steps
 

Hey guys....

I haven't posted anything about my situation in awhile, and I think it's because I'm afraid to get my hopes up

AD and her boyfriend, both checked themselves into detox over a week ago. They are now both on methadone, still homeless, but taking baby steps.

They both look soooo good. Have gained a little weight, and their faces and eyes look so much clearer. I told my daughter she looks 1000% better than even just a month ago. It just makes me sooo happy, but I'm afraid to get toooo excited about it. Apparently they are both looking into rehab, so I still need your prayers.

Anyway, just wanted to update everyone...thanks for listening

Thats great news!

The ONLY way my exah was able to get away from the heroin was with methadone. I know that there are lots of mixed opinions about methadone but my exah swears that it saved his life. My exah has been on methadone for about 4 years now. He thinks he'll probably be on it for life. I don't think it was meant to be a lifelong thing but its better than the alternative. Its given my exah a chance to leave the heroin behind and thats a very good thing.

I'm sending out my biggest, hugest, loudest prayers. I hope your AD finds her way and if methadone is the vehicle to get her where she needs to go, than its a very good thing.

Give your sweet grandson a hug for me, okay?
Lots of love...

Prayers on the way ((((NotsleepingwellDaughter)))))

That this can be her time, that she finds the strength and commitment to continue that God continues to walk with her and keep her safe.

Thank you NSW...I have lots of prayers being sent up for your daughter and her BF and for you and your grandson. I'm so glad she is lookign better...it is amazing how they "clean up nice" so quickly once they start getting clean. Thank you for the hope and I think you are so streong and amazing. I know it hurts your heart to watch her suffer, but you've done what you had to do for you and you grandson and for her too! Hugs and prayers

Ahhhh, my wonderful friends, no one understands as you all do!!! It's been a long journey to get to here. Been exactly a year as of May 23rd, and a more difficulty journey, I've never taken, but because of all of you, I've made it this far!!!

I thank you for your prayers. I'm sure we still need em everyday, and I pray for all of you as well.

Prayers to you and your family. Sounds like your daughter is finally facing her problem. Its a step in the right direction.

Sounds like some positive news. Enjoy this time.

Blessings...........Lo

Hi NotSleepingWell, I will keep you all in my prayers & I hope that they both go into the rehab.
Love,
Diane

Sounds like she's heading in the right direction. Good luck to you. I'm kind of going through the same thing with my as. He'll be home in a day or two. When I saw him on Monday at the rehab, his color was back. He does desperately need a haircut and shave though. I hope their all on the road to recovery.

Add my prayers to the list and take a couple for yourself.

I know how good it feels to know they are safe and heading in the right direction. Let's just all pray real hard that she keeps going. What a blessing this is.

Hugs
