Are you allowed to visit and bring flowers or do they recommend not? I know with the new privacy laws, and being that your daughter is 18, they can't tell you anything over the phone, she has to. And she may not have phone privileges today. So you might have to go to the hospital to get an update on her. With her being an adult, she'll need to give permission for you to find out stuff, so when you go to the hospital, see if she can inform the nurse to put it in her chart that if you call for an update that you are allowed to get current info on her progress. But you are doing good hanging in there not drinking. Gosh a lot of cr@p seems to happen as we recover. Keep coming back, I think things will prolly take a turn for the better now. Love from,

I told her before she left to be sure to put me on whatever paperwork they gave her. I told her that otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get any info. She said she would. Still waiting.

Suki,
it's so confusing for her probably right now, that paperwork is not at the top of the list. She probably did put you as "notify in case of emergency" but you need more than that to get info when you call. Most people don't know that. I'm sure she would want you to know, but that doesn't mean the nurses will have what they need to tell you stuff over the phone. The first day at the hospital is chaotic. When they get to know you, they'll know your voice and tell you more stuff, but you may have to make the trip for the first update or two. I know it's hard.

Worry isn't going to help either of you. The concern of a parent can turn into worry fast.
Relax and know that she is in good hands that will provide for her needs.
Yes a true blessing is how I see this as well.
Keep yourself relaxed...say a prayer and know that God is watching over her as well.

Again...I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of you. I still haven't heard anything, and can't get any info over the phone. I guess I'll just go on to bed in a little while and trust that all will be well. I am so glad I found this forum.

Suki,
God Bless you lady... You did the right thing... I attempted suicide a while back and was committed to State care for a while until they had me sorted out. I will tell you that my personal experience was that of loving car and a calm environment with which to heal and put the pieces of my life back together. My life is by no means a bed of roses now but I do know that I am glad I didn't succeed in killing myself. Your daughter is in good hands and you need to focus on you, one day at a time.
With love and compassion,
John

Hi Suki. I'm sorry your going through this. Especially when you are so new in recovery. You CAN get through this without drinking. You are doing the right thing by reaching out. Remember........NOTHING can happen today that a drink will not make WORSE.
Prayers going out to you and your daughter.

Suki I had one of my twins attempt suicide, that was damn hard, her twin sister is anorexic (in recovery now), and we were scared to death for her, she looked like the living dead when we put her in the treatment center.
The most important thing I had to do for both of them was to stay sober, because if I was not sober I was useless and it would have made their problems worse.
You both are in my prayers, I hope all is well as can be for now.
