[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 420046"] I need to detach.......she just called me to say hi. She sounds horrible - has a really bad cough, but that could be smokers' cough. She said she has had several run ins with police lately, so she doesn't think she has a warrant out for her (eyeroll). She says she is living in a house with no electricity. The home owner doesn't want druggies there, so he won't turn the electricity back on (eyeroll). She also tells me she is hungry. She says all her extra money goes to dog food for her dog. I asked her if this is honestly better than going to a program. Again, she claims she doesn't need a program so she won't go to one. I told her that is her choice, I do not understand it at all, but it is her choice to make. I had to get off the phone. Not good for me to hear her like this. I did text her the number for her to call about food stamps, gave her the number for a women's homeless shelter where she could get a meal and told her there are sober living facilities that she could live at, but that she had to be sober and want to stay sober. No replies, yet.... This HOOVERS. I am sitting here crying because all I can think about is how bad she looks and her saying she is hungry. :( My goodness, the hungry thing gets me [I]every[/I] time. I want to run out and get her a grocery gift card but wouldn't that be enabling? I certainly don't want to prevent her from hitting bottom....I would think hunger would actually help bottom come a little faster. But the pain in my heart... [/QUOTE]
