Intervention

[Teetime4u]

As most of you all know, my daughter is addicted to opiates and using the needle. What my question is is how do you do an intervention?? What is the best  method and how do I aproach the subject. I know she has to go on her own, but it is out of control and I am trying to figure out a way to push her possibly over the edge? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless!

Have you checked out surrounding areas?  Maybe that would work.  You are doing much better than when you first got here.  You have gained some strength and that is nice to see.  Are you still talking with the other mom on here?

   I would love to go to alanon but in my area the meeting conflict with my work schedule, so basically this forum has become my alanon. There is so many amazing people on here who has helped me so much. Thanks and God bless

I have mentioned Rehab to her for the past 2 years. Made calls to get her connected to them. got times for na meeting in our town. Beged and pleaded till I can do no more. She knows I care and would go to the end of this earth to help her. But right now her addiction is stronger than any love and until she is ready to take that step there isnt alot I can do. I got on here to see what an intervention consisted of and if people thought it might be a good idea. Thanks.

I'm proud of you for cutting her off and standing your ground. That' the first step.

Be ready and waiting for when she hits that rock-bottom. Hopefully her rock-bottom won't be all that harsh, but sometimes it takes a hard bottom to wake us up.

Stay strong. We're always here if you need us.

My heart breaks for you. I can see how much it is hurting you to see your baby girl like this. I know it is hard but you need to protect yourself. Let your daughter know you are there, but will not enable her. Let's pray she comes around.

I can suggest that you look into Al-Anon for yourself and any other family members. It is a supportive group of people who can share their experiences, strength and hope with you and maybe give you some answers that you desperately need. If you need help finding a group near you, let someone know.

You are doing all you can for her right now but dont forget YOU.  Make sure you are getting healthy also so when your daughter does decide to clean up you both can make a fresh start.  What else can you do?  Pray and pray some more~~~~
