That will start a new thread on this forum and others will see and help. Many will not see this and you won't get answers/help.
I just want to be a clean person who doesn't ever touch them again i work and i am a loving person but this problem has to be gotten rid of and i need the help to do this
I just found this forum i have been taking different types from tabs to lyrica not everyday but to get energy and feel normal not depressed i actually took a few from someone i care deeply for and now i live with that to can go 5-6 days then want one i feel like a sorry slowdown person and i want to k.ow how to stop and earn back the lost trust
I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this. 8 years ago I went through it also with my boyfriend now husband. He was going through an ounce of cocaine a day with 4 or 5 "friends". It is very tough to see what they are doing to themselves, My dh went down to about 140 pounds or less and is 6'2" and bigger boned. I finally said he needed to stop ot I was leaving and that day he had an OD and his heart stopped. I helped him recover and then told him he had to make a choice and he chose me. He got off of it completly on his own so it is possable but the person needs to want to stop, just like smoking cigs. Hope everything goes well it will be a rocky ride.
I am addicted to drugs, a drug addict. The only life and/or memories that I have from the past 4 1/2 years are filled with smoking Meth(Glass). Staying up for days.......sleepless, only to smoke with my closest tweeker friends. I honestly can't remember anything besides that. Not one thing. :< Actually.........none of them were friends, just people that shared a common goal, desire, and need. DOPE!
For a long time I wasn't getting high because it was fun.........I was getting high because it was numb. The sorrow , the heart ache, the mistakes that I made while I was high that I wouldn't have if I was sober. Facing the reality of everything that I destroyed along my path addiction. Not only is it still tearing up my family, but on this path I have aborted 3 pregnancies. One at 16 weeks, one at 19 weeks and one at 20 weeks and 5 days( I felt it kick) and Ihate myself for letting them take that baby out of me :( ......but I was so high out of my mind at hat time, that I wasn't mentally stable or capable of having that baby. Meth is an evil drug, but I have nothing else. No family, no real friends, no job, and no life. I rarely leave my home, because getting high takes precedence over ordinary life, and because the paranoia and schizo episodes scared me enough to stay indoors. For months.
I have tried to quit, numerous times, but when you're lonely, depressed, and financially dependant on a person that is a major addict, and who has no desire to quit. Factor that into the equation and it makes it Really Hard. A Major Life Struggle. I will do it though. Quitting.

You should not try to detox her on your own. Try your local county mental health/substance abuse clinic. They usually have sliding scale fees, and may even help her get funds for care. Some don't charge anything if you qualify. Most communities have solid drug rehab programs in place, and low incomes/no insurance are nothing new to them.
Good luck.
Good luck.
