Title: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by Phil L on Dec 21st, 2005, 8:07pm Good news. Daughter in rehab and doing well. Seems stable and happier as drugs (crystall meth) leave the brain. I hope and pray, but it's really all up to her and it's a long haul. As my stress deminished, Ch got worse (as some of you indicated it might), but big deal. Been there, done that. She is 36 days clean and sober, has a six hour pass Christmas day to see her family and kids. Life is good - one day at a time. Phil |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by pattik on Dec 21st, 2005, 8:47pm It's great to hear that she is doing so well. But I'm sure sorry that your CH cycle hasn't left yet...but it will--just hang in there. In the mean time, I know that you will have a great Christmas with your daughter on the mend. All the best to you and your family. [smiley=hug.gif] Pat |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by cootie on Dec 21st, 2005, 9:41pm The CLUE is to keep her away from it.......she needs a cool hobby or sumthin to keep her busy that will be more precious to her that makes her feel as good as it did. Been there done that.....lucky for me the stuff made me burnt out and crabby......but it makes you feel like you could build a house in 5 hours and go to the moon in less. No fear.....no pain.......but there is NO gain Pam My pets have always been what has kept me from goin over the edge......and I worship them for that. |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by Phil L on Dec 21st, 2005, 11:18pm Thanks for being there. Mr. Fix it here can't fix this one and feels sort of helpless. Would much rather be out slaying dragons. Watching and holding my breath is the best I can do. Finding the middle ground of support, love, and compassion without enabling (I know your having a rough time, here's a hundred bucks) is tougher than I thought it would be - let's hear it for Alanon and saying no with love. More updates as time degrades time. Until then, Phil |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by zwibbs/Scott on Dec 22nd, 2005, 12:43am let's hear it for Alanon and saying no with love. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hey Phil-Amen to that !!! Alanon will help you do the things that NEED to be done. There is nothing worse than having to say NO to your children--no matter what the age. But No will only help her defeat the addiction.....My prayers and everyone's prayers will be sent each and every day !!! Good Luck and Keep the Faith. |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by nani on Dec 22nd, 2005, 10:38am Phil I know too well what you're going through, and I'm sorry that you are. 36 days is good. With luck it will continue and someday you can say (as I am finally able to say) My daughter has 4 years of being clean. Meth is a particularly devastating drug, I swear it robs people of their souls. Tough love, bro. The key word is love. Supporting emotionally but not financially (unless it's buying food). Say "I know you can do this, I have faith in you!!" I'm sending prayers that things continue to go well. Happy Holidays to you and yours. hugs, nani |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by DonnaHar on Dec 23rd, 2005, 4:59am Prayers and best wishes are with you and your daughter. Tough love is one of the hardest things you will ever have to practice in your life when it comes to dealing with your own child. You've got a reserve of strength, tho, that you didn't know you have. I had one in a "get straight" program and thought I was having a stroke every time I went to a weekly open meeting and tried to talk to him over a microphone. Sincerely wishing your family a Merry Christmas. |

Title: Re: Update on Daughters attempted suicide Post by Phil L on Dec 28th, 2005, 12:30pm Update: Daughter spent Christmas (seven hour pass) with family members, her children and partner. She looks good, motivated and sane. All embraced her with love, compassion and understanding - except her partner who needs to spend a moment inside a blender. Saw her yesterday and she was upbeat, determined and focused on her recovery. What a trooper! Phil |
