General Discussion

Wants to come home from rehab!

feeds@yuku.com (tipinover) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:25:41 GMT

When the discussion regarding her stay in rehab began she agreed to go in for 30 days. For insurance purposes that was reduced to 2 weeks. After she spoke on the phone with counselors they told her probably 2 weeks. When she arrived at rehab they told her probably 7 to 10 days. As of last night it was 3 1/2 days and she is "squacking" to get out. Says she "gets it" and that she knows what she has to do to stay clean. There was desperation in her voice.

Verbal Abuse & Sex

feeds@yuku.com (renee23) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:03:00 GMT

My husband took off about 8 weeks ago now.
He still lies about me and yells about me.
When he is around family he does not speak to me and pretends that he has no contact with me whatsoever.
He now has 2 mobile phones and contacts me from one of them.
He does not want me to contact him so he is not caught out by his family.
To this day, he insists that he no longer has a meth problem and that he left simply because he was unhappy.
Yesterday, he verbally abused me...

Yes, we had it all. The white picket fence statis. The suberbein life style, the good jobs, the 3 kids and a dog. The kind of life we all dream of, the one that has few worries and just seems to only get better as it goes on. We worked hard to get were we were in life, we did with out a lot in the begining, to us pizza night once every other month was a huge treat. Our children wore garage sale cloths to school for many years before we could aford to acculy buy them their...

Am I helping or just being co dependant?

My daughter has relapsed and, from my understanding, is basically living in her car, on the streets. She was in recovery 6 mo. and relapsed after about 3 or 4 weeks, according to a friend she was in recovery with.
I haven't spoken to her in over a month, we used to talk every day. She is on felony probation and is supposed to be testing, which I hear she is not.
I think she picked up her car after crashing it and running off last...

Adult daughter in rehab..I have so many questions~~

feeds@yuku.com (tipinover) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:48:25 GMT
Daughter went into rehab for about a week, a few days ago. We told grandson that she went to talk with some counselors regarding a sleeping problem she is having. As grandparents we weren't sure if we were prepared to give the right explination. Daughter plans to tell him the truth later on.

The live in another state and we brought them here by telling them we had a family issue that she needed to help with. After she arrived we approached her regarding rehab. We didn't...

I have a 17 year old and without getting into the whole story, we have been having alot of problems with him. The other day my husband found 3 baggies (tiny ones) 2 with a white sustance and the other spelled like weed. We had the police come to our house and they said there was not enough to test but the police said definately the white sustance was meth. This was on Tuesday. The next day (yesterday) I took my son to be tested with only a half hour notice to him. All that came up on test was...

Tough stage of recovery?/Question for Longtermers

feeds@yuku.com (mlg) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:13:16 GMT
My daughter has been wanting to come out and see us (her Dad and me) more often so as not to stay too isolated.
She is doing great in her recovery program, however, is going through some feelings of not knowing who the h--- she is.
She says she realizes now (after 3 yrs. clean) how developmentally delayed she is; she feels naked, dismantled, and exposed.
She has been working in a ranch rehab, but feels she's going through a stage where she needs a less mentally taxing job...

Are Meth users really happy

feeds@yuku.com (badsituation) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:20:08 GMT
After 3 weeks or so of hearing nothing form our daughter she called.She is still insisting we are all wrong about accusing her of meth use. We are the ones that have the attitude problem. Even though she is living in a near homeless situation she insists that she is happy but hurt because.we accused her.So yes is there any time during addiction that drugs really casuse a person to feel content and happy. She is avoiding everyone that loves her,but yet she will not take us up on any offers to...

I am posting this at the request of a friend from this board.

It is from a conversation we had the other day - and I forgot about it and my promise until
I opened my front door this morning to find a card and flowers ...

- my daughters were all excited
"you have a secret admirer" they teased -

and I had no clue why there would be flowers and a card
on my porch -

I opened it...

My name is FSOABEX and I am a recovering Meth Addict with nearly 15 months of sobriety under my belt, after nearly 15 years of being a total f-Up Meth Addict who only cared about my next high instead of the needs of my kids. This past 20 months has been the best and the worst time of my life all rolled into one big nightmare. My meth addiction led me to commit some unthinkable acts against my former spouse FSOAB which I am forever sorry for and know that I will never be able to make this...

How do you find and approach a doctor

feeds@yuku.com (inebad) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:49:31 GMT
I have 37 years using and 67 days clean. I have just toughed it out so far. I do not have a family doctor. I have no insurance and limited funds. I feel like I need more help physically and mentally. I was just wondering how you find and approach a doctor that might help. The nearest NA meetings are miles away so I have not attended any yet. I would appreciate any suggestions. I am sure that others on this board realize that my thinking is not real focused or clear right now. Thanks in advance!

Friend has recently been texting me telling me she is loosing her mind. He family also reports that she thinks the television is talking to her and she thinks people are speaking in code about her during normal conversations. She has a history of injecting meth, was clean for awhile, and went back on a roll in April until now. I think she may be hooking too and she is/or was dealing. I also just found out she has been adding heroin tothe mix. She is 29 and has been struggling with this...

Within get last two months I found out that my partner of 12 years was using meth. After talking to mutual friend of ours and comparing notes. We came to the conclusion that he is addicted. It's like getting hit by a bus that you didn't see coming. My partner and I are very independent. I'm a home body and he goes out on Friday and Sat, so I didn't what he was up to. I had no reason to expect anything. Then he started to spend the night a friends house, cause he was tipsy and...
