I actually think that getting mad is good. It helps us stay stronger when dealing with our GFGs. We have every right to be angry at their choices and behavior because it affects us, too.
Just my 2 cents.

I am truly thinking about you and I honestly think that contacting Dr Phil isnt a bad idea. Your gfg might be a good idea. I actually contacted him one time about Cory and got an answer back but we didnt meet the exact criteria of what they were looking for because Cory was already past juvenile justice. They were looking for kids who were still under 18 and dealing with the court system. Cory was 20 so I was hoping being under 21 might make him eligible. Plus the fact that he had experience with the DJJ system.
Because Dr Phil does so many shows on addiction these days, I would really contact him.
