Sadmamma and Pandypoo,

I am so sorry for the heart break that you are going through. I can feel your pain. I have an AD.

Kindeyes is right..."You can find serenity whether your daughter is using or not."

I am learning that "Change is a process...not an event".

Hugs and prayers to all the parents of addicted loved ones. God bless you all!

Today its been three weeks that my daughter has been gone. I have had a couple of text msgs that she is ok and plans to turn herself in soon, but nothing else. I am surprised at her actions and realize her resourcefulness. I went to my 1st Al-Anon mtg and it felt very good.

Detatching is very difficult but I am working on it.

I resembled this.
