[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 21673, member: 2389"] I am glad you found us and are able to tell your story, I know it helps to get it off your chest. I want to share with you a story of my friend. She dabbled in pot and pills on and off for several yrs. Finally, she did enough that she was fired from her job. She moved back to her home state and cleaned up. She married, and had a son. She divorced and started using again. She became pregnant again and cleaned up. She married and stayed clean for a while. This man brought 2 children into the marriage so between them there were 4 kids. He was not a good provider and she buckled under the stress of making the ends meet. She disappeared for mths, she ended up on the streets selling herself for crack. She was finally arrested and spent time in jail and was released into the first of four drug rehabs. She was on medicad during the treatments and finally was diagnosis'ed bi-polar. I have to say that as long as she stayed on her medications she thrived. When she stopped her medications, she relasped. It was always legal trouble that got her in rehabs and clean She is 40 yrs old, she started using in her early 30's. She had made the 16 mth mark of sober last mth. She was currently fighting for custody of her oldest son. I tearfully say that I recieved a collect call from jail fri. She used and was busted, again in jail. This was her weekend to have her oldest son home. I made the call for them not to meet her. Her mother is done. She has spent thousands of dollars trying to "help" her get her life straight. I wanted you to know that there is hope, once she was diagnosis'ed she knew what the problem was and she was trained through counsel how to handle it. When she went to her meetings and she was on her medications, she thrived. I can say that she was not allowed to suffer once she was clean. Her mom payed fines,bought cars, helped her with the bills and childcare. She also hired lawyers for her. Looking back I think if it was harder for her to bounce back after using maybe it would have helped her make the choice to stay clean She always had in the back of her mind that her mom would bail her out. This will be the first time her mom has said no, I am done. We will see what happens this time. I wish you peace, drugs touch so many lives. I hope that your daughter can find help in a diagnosis, my friend did, if she could only stay on the medications. [/QUOTE]
