Dear (((Liz)))! I don’t often post these days due to not having internet at my place and keeping busy, but I wanted to post to you. I’m so sorry about your youngest daughter being a drug addict, and being lost when it comes to recovery. You mentioned she had been in a treatment program prior, and so many people that aren’t addicts think that a stay in a treatment centre will “cure” addicts. It takes as many times in treatment and detox, as it takes. It takes as much help and support as it takes to get into recovery and then to maintain recovery. As compulsive gamblers we know that! We have learned about what recovery looks like and what barriers we need to put in to work our recovery. To me these are the things that people need to learn as building blocks to a true foundation to recovery. When I went into residential treatment, I didn’t get how important some things were to recovery. It was only through Ken L and GT, that I learned what I needed to do, and that took me years of online support before I could grasp some really important concepts. I wonder if there is a wonderful site for people with drug problems where they too can work a recovery program online? I understand that you must be worried sick about your daughter, and no one can blame you. I pray she finds exactly the right help she needs soon. Your BFF! Carole
