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!

Joanne

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.

Hugs

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.
