[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 476443, member: 1967"] I was so taken aback by the whole thing that I wasn't thinking straight. I wish I had told her to call her sponsor on the spot and ask if he/she thought it was a good idea. I did call her on the way home and offer to go to an NA meeting right then and let them tell us if difficult child was right. She told me that she was "too angry to see me right now." difficult child was on the phone immediately after she left the store. She said that she was calling the friend's mom that she was staying with. I doubt even that woman would have been stupid enough to buy her the hycodan since she knew she was right out of rehab. I have a feeling she was really on the phone with someone else. There's more troubling news, too. She ended up finding a third halfway house that I don't think sounds like a good idea. There is no lease - - strictly month-to-month and the director was calling her after she went to see the place asking what it would take "to get her there." She claims that they do have curfews, do drug testing three times a week, have meetings on premises, and require them to get a job in 2 - 4 weeks. It just doesn't sound like a serious rehab facility. She said that they had to be out of bed by noon. Noon? She has pushed back going there until Monday. The good news is that it is considerably less money and we would not be stuck with paying out a lease if difficult child ends up leaving. Things don't seem to be going in the right direction. Looking back, difficult child and I had a conversation this week about her going to the dentist (which she really needs to do . . . it has been several years). She asked if she could still get nitrous oxide before she got a cavity filled. She said some at NA said it was a bad idea and others said it was okay since it was a medical reason. She still seems to have a need to find a way to get mood altering drugs. Nancy, thank goodness for smart phones. I had pulled the research while I was with difficult child and read it aloud to her. She just told me that I wasn't a doctor and that she didn't have any refills so she would be taking it strictly for medical purposes. [/QUOTE]
