Selma, you nephew is lucky to have family fight for him. If they cant get him into an inpatient, is there anyone available to stay with him for an extended time? I ask because years ago, a friend I know was desperatly wanting to kick a cocaine addition. he didnt have insurance and his family was at the end of their rope. Their solution came in the form of a wonderful friend that was willing to keep daily meeting with him...sometimes dragging him out of bed, throwing him into a shower, and then sitting down with him each day. This friend was faithful, and had it not been for Mel helping daily the addiction may have never been broken. The drug addict is now a pastor for the last 24 years and helps support many ministries across the country and the world.
I know this isnt ideal for everyone, but sometimes I think we just have to think outside the box to find a answer. I truly hope an answer is given to your nephew soon. Breaks my heart that he is asking for help and our system is denying.
Viv and Molly, so sorry that this Monday has you in pain. I too have been having a difficult time the last few days...but realize unlike you- I have done this to myself. Working is taking a toll...and these crazy christmas shoppers!  So grateful for 4 days off...my body needs time to recover!
Off to find my heat pack and some advil!

  Hi all....went to an intervention for my nephew...and was left with a HA...although we did get him to agree to go inpatient...yea !!

SO my rant is why can 't they help him figure out y he is using instead of telling him y he should not...that he already knows...I really feel he may have an underlying issue and is self medicating and it got out of hand....big time....sigh....
