[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 760073, member: 23706"] Yes. We had to do this in order to survive. It was eating us up inside. We go to Nar Anon, a spiritual program for people with loved ones who use drugs and are encouraged to take care of ourselves first because we can't control our loved ones addiction. Our first step is "We admitted to ourselves that that our lives have become unmanageable" or something like that (it's 4 a.m. now and I am up with my dog who is afraid of thunderstorms...heh... so my mind is tired). I have learned to give my life over to God and to give our daughter to God as well. He is better able to watch over her and He loves us as much as He loves her. He doesn't want us to suffer. I find.it helpful to go to church a lot and pray for our family and to lean on our church family. Also we see a private therapist. Drug use in a loved one.is a family disease, but we have to learn to cope and even be happy. Our loved one is not within our control but we can control our reaction to him/her. We can let go of the chaos they cause and find peace eventually. I am sorry you have to go through what we have. Some kids turn around. Our daughter has not yet. Maybe she won't. But I can't predict the future and.my husband and other family needs me and I need to love myself. I can't let her illness suck the life out of me and I won't let it happen anymore. Hugs and prayers.
