Daughter went to Detox tonight again!
 
I told some of you on my earlier posts my daughter kristina went to a detox 3 wks ago and after 8 days she took off with a/bf to do dope again.

She was gone oout on the streets for 12 days. Of course she finally calls mom for help to go back to rehab when she's desperate.

So I picked her up brought her home she made the arrangements and I took her back to Princeton House again! This time she says she knows she needs long time help and plans on going immediately from detox to a 39 day and after that probably a 6 month halfway house(which I think she could definitely benifit from. So well see I'm trying to havehope but not too much hope (if you know what I mean)

I told her if she takes off agan with a/bf don't call me! This is the last chance she has to really straighten out if she ever wants to come back home. I made it very clear to her DETOX ,REHAB and then some.

I pray everyday with the help of her HP she will find her way!


Thanks to all of you for all of your encouragement and support!

That's terrific. I hope she carries through. Best of luck.

I'm glad she is trying again too. Maybe she needed this last run to realize how badly she needs help.

I'm sure it's a relief to you to have her safe again.

YEA !!! Thinking positive for Kristina and you too Joanne.
We know getting sober is not a straight line. But as long as the walk continues there is lots of hope in your situation.

"Desperate" can be another way of saying "hitting bottom". That's a good thing.

You're wise to tell her not to tell her not to call if she takes off again. That's her choice. She has to deal with the consequences.
