Welcome

Hello,

At this time I want to welcome you to my blog. This blog is principally going to be about parenting a drug addict. However as parents of drug addicts know they take up about 85% of your time, worry and stress, but there are other good things going on too.

I'm going to try not to dwell on all the negatives. After all there is a new granddaughter, there are vacations and there are visits with friends, those with this problem and those that don't have the issue but try to help.

My wish and goal for this blog is that maybe I can help you or you can help us. For now I think we are going to remain anonymous, maybe in time I'll post names and pictures. Please if you want to post comments (good, bad, or indifferent) they will be very much appreciated.

I found your blog today, March 9, 2023. I have scanned a few posts and have found the CRAFT method. I have ordered the books that are recommended. I made an appointment w my acupuncturist who specializes in PTSD. My daughter is 23, drug problems beginning in early high school. She is currently on probation for possession of heroin, hit and run and 7 other things. She is also currently actively using. She lives at home. And for many years I threatened to kick her out. Husband prevailed thank God and she remains under our roof. Comes home most nights. Dates a dealer. Her last 3 BF’s have been dealer. Most mornings I open her door to make sure she is still breathing. I’ve been punched in the face. Chased her all around town when she was a minor. The lies are at 98%, manipulations are strong. Stealing lots of money. Jewelry, not that I have much of value, is now locked in the master closet w a keypad lock. THANK YOU for sharing your journey and your learned wisdom. I have need searching for a while and nothing has hit. Local drug recovery space, Al-anon, church, friends, blah blah blah. I feel like I can make some progress here. ~ tired
