Congrat on 11 months. That's great. My prayers are with you and your daughter. I had to watch my son get clean before I did and it's been over 3 years for him from heroin so it can be done and I'm sure you will be an inspiration to your daughter. GBU ,Corey

11 months is so great. I'm so impressed that even with what you have going on in your life you're still staying strong and not using. Congratulations and I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers.

Thanks...Although you are not an addict, you love one that is...And that is tougher then i thought...Yes i was talking about her when i said the last month has been tough, and when things got tough i always turned to pills, now I am turning to prayer....She makes a meeting everyday, she has to do 90 in 90 days...BUT i can see she is struggling ..And i guess because i know exactly what that feels like , makes it tougher...Maybe if i didn't , I would say to her just stop , and move on....BUT i know how difficult that is.. I think as parents it is easier to have ourselves hurt, but not our kids....So my heart goes out to you too...But if she is inpatient right now, she will get all the tools she needs, and have a much higher chance to beat this with your support....I am here anytimes u want to talk about it...

Congrats on 11 mos. sobriety!!  I want to thank you for being there for me, when I felt completely overwhelmed and lost trying to help my daughter with her addiction.  She is on day 6 in rehab, and so far, so good.  The w/d's obviously aren't pleasant and today they will be taking her off the suboxone, so should be another bumpy day.   How is your daugher doing?  I noticed you said the past month has been really hard and I assumed you were talking about your daugher, I hope she is doing okay.

You are a weatlth of information, and have always treated me with compassion and concern.  Completely void of any judgement.  Your support has meant more to me than I can put into words.

Be so very proud of yourself,  11 months!!!!   And I continue to wish  stregnth for you and peace for you and your girl.    Jeanette

Thanks everyone , you all have played a part in this for me...Toxic-- you are right it is still one day at a time, i never want to let my guard down...
I feel great, and it is so nice to not think about counting, calling, chasing pills....
Hugs to everyone

r2r....CONGRATS on 11 MONTHS!! Be PROUD!!

This IS a difficult journey...but just think how courageous each one of us is to have taken this step to improve our lives.
I just told my sister yesterday...what doesnt' kill me makes me stronger...lol

Be thankful that you can be a positive influence for your daughter. Being an addict yourself, you can relate to what she's going thru and you can be a HUGE support for her.

Even at 11 months...remember to stay in the day...and take it ONE day at a time. After we get some months under our belt..I think we tend forget this. She will be ok...and you will too!

Keep working it...together!!
