luppy good post  you are not pathetic ,pathetic would be continuing to use knowing all of the damage you are doing to yourself and not caring enough about you to get better but that not what you are doing .you stopped using and have come clean now all you have to do is finish what you started and go into treatment

You have to stop hating yourself.  That doesn't help anything or anybody at all.  You are not pathetic.  Someone who is pathetic would not be going for help right now.  They wouldn't be worried about there child, they would out there right now trying to score.  You are putting your little girl to bed and then you are going to get help that does not sound like a pathetic person to me. That is someone who is going to learn to love herself all over again because she deserves to love herself.  The past is the past you have to leave it there because the past will interfere with what you are trying to accomplish now and that is having a wonderful future for you, for your husband and for your little girl.  So please don't hate yourself, we have all done things in our lives that we wish we never had but we can't change it or have a do over we just have to learn from it.  How can someone hate someone who has learned from there mistakes and are taking the right steps to fix the mistakes made.  Personally I couldn't hate someone like that I would have to respect them.  So you shouldn't hate yourself for being human and doing what people from all walks of life have been doing for millions of years and that is making mistakes.  Love yourself for trying to get better.  Love yourself for loving your daughter enough to get help.  Love yourself for loving your husband and the rest of your family enough to get help.  Loving yourself will get you through this and come out the other side shining and happy.

What you are doing Is getting help for the you and that in turn will help her .If she sees you being calm and cool she will be too !!!! She is going to go off of your reactions.Its going to be fine you are going to get the help you need make sure to be honest with the rehab and tell them how much everything you have been taking how much of it and for how long one of the steps of healing is going to be getting honest with yourself and others good luck you can do this.

This is so hard...As I put my daughter to bed she was crying and asking me evey question the sun.  My dad and husband tell me not to worry that she will be taken care of.  That is not what I am worried about...As i was laying with her tonight I was thinking to myself how she must feel in her little mind, she has to be so worried.  I hate myself for ever picking up a pill and being an addict,... I hate myself!!! For having to do this to her.  I am pethetic!

I understand how scary all this is but do you know how proud your daughter is going to be of her mother.  I don't know how old she is but she will know that you did it because you loved her so much and you want the best for her.  What daughter wouldn't be proud of that

You have to go, dont talk yourself out of it. You MUST go, You can tell your little girl that you have to get your stomach sorted or tell her you need to get some business sorted out. Tell her its not for long and youll be back soon. I know itll be hard but try not to get to upset when you go or she might worry, just make it look as if its just something you have to do. You really need to do this, you know deep down you have to. I have a better relationship with my kids already even though theyr older. I promise you that you will notice a difference. Im gonna try and google the place your going but im not that good but ill try and find it. I hope theyv got computers there so we know how your getting on. Let us know how you are before you go. I wish you all the luck in the world.
