Nine months heroin free My daughter has 9 months free of heroin. She had a couple slips with alcohol back in October but has been free of that since. She is leaving Sunday for Miami Beach, all paid by her and her boyfriend. She continues to make 2 to 3 meetings a week, depending on her work schedule. I continue to live one day at a time, keep to my side of the street and know that there are no guarantees in this life. Today she has a roof over her head, a job, a relationship with us and her precious Chihuahua, and she has been accepted back in college and is applying for scholarships (a hard one for her to do as she is basically shy and needs to ask people for letters of recommendation). She is cleaning up past debts and saving for a car. The most important lesson that I have learned is that no matter what her future brings, it IS possible for her to be clean when she IS willing to do the work. Hugs, Marle |

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/j.../miracle1a.gif Marle, I can only imagine the pride that you are feeling towards your daughter. As parents, we are always proud of our kids, their accomplishments and wise decisions. I've read many of your posts and you seem to have done a great deal of work on yourself as well, realizing that there is only so much you can do for her and when you have to step aside and let her do the rest. God Bless You Both Judy |
BRAVO!! to both of you. That indeed is wonderful news. Thank you for the update and the encouragement. |

Congrats to the both of you!!! :c011: I know this has been a long journey for the both of you. You have set a very good example on this board! Thanks! I am still waiting for my daughter to "want it" so it will happen. I know that it can happen, but she has to want it; I can't do it for her. Thanks for your post! Give yourself a pat on the back for your growth through all of this! HUGS |
I love good news like this. Good for her and good for you too, Marle, this hasn't been a picnic for you but your recovery just shines through no matter what. Miracles DO happen and it just tickles my heart everytime I see one right here at SR. Hugs |

:funjump: Marle What wonderful news. I know it's hasn't been easy for either one of you, but Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! To both of you, I know just how hard it is to stay on your own side of the street. blue |
So very proud of your daughter and her willingness to do what it takes. We both know that is the ticket...the willingness to work those steps and apply them to our lives. Congrats to her and to you because I know you have been a big part of her recovery by being strong enough to let her find her own way. Hugs, Hangin' In |
You and Megan have both done amazing things in your recoveries! I know it feels good to have your daughter back and I know that you have a solid recovery and are living life to its fullest one day at a time. Hugs |
