[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 672491, member: 19522"] Rosie please do not apologize. It is hard enough for you already, feeling as you do. The best thing, is that she has admitted using, and is scared. You can take that as an open door for her to get help. There are many rehabs out there. Act quickly and work with her fear, to urge her to go for immediate treatment. If she uses again, and the possibility is great,that fear will dissipate, and this window of opportunity will close. Are you able to engage your husband to help? It is important for you to have help with this. If not, [B][I]and[/I][/B] if so, have you seen a counselor to help guide you? Many years ago, my niece called me, desperate, because she was hooked on ice and learned she was pregnant. I researched and found a treatment program for her. Luckily, she was successful, and her baby was blessedly, okay. That was 22 years ago, my niece is doing well, and now a grandmother. There is hope Rosie, but you must act quickly. Use this time to search for rehabs and get her into one. ASAP. She is reaching out, and most likely wants to leave town to get away from her friends that are using. This is a very hopeful sign, and I cannot stress enough, that you need to act quickly. You must also prepare yourself in case she changes her mind. This is why counseling for you is so very important, a professional can help you deal with the issues attached to this, as well as provide a wealth of resources. My heart goes out to you Rosie. Please, please act quickly. I kept my daughters problems from my Mom, I did not want to stress her, she is ill. She knew something was wrong. I finally told her, and she is very understanding, and thanked me for letting her know. I felt ashamed, for my d c's and myself. The shame keeps us from telling others, but also hides the addict and cloaks them. It becomes a vicious cycle. Perhaps a united family effort, is what your daughter needs to kick this. Rather than shame, a circle of family support. Your post is not pathetic Rosie. You are desperate for your daughters well being. There is a chance you may be able to help her. There is also a chance you may not. I urge you to get help for yourself too. She is an adult, and will make her own choices. Please continue to post and let us know how you are doing. You never have to feel shame here, dear. Most of us have been there done that. Now is the time for action and solutions. You were very brave to write this Rosie, and your daughter has opened up to you. This is a very very good thing. Act quickly. My heart goes out to you. Fervent prayers for you and ohana.
