She started with Vicodin and now is a drinker. She was in a marriage where she was extremely unhappy, but chose to not leave because of the kids, so instead of walking away she chose to just numb her pain with pills or alcohol. Now she is divorced and has cause herself to be addicted. In the past 2 years she has almost killed herself from her choices from being so drunk. She has been in and out of detox and treatment centers numerous times, but they will only hold her for 72 hours then release her. It seems like every episode she has gotten worse now. She now contemplates her death when she is drunk. She has inflicted violence on our mother and husband and beats her head on the ground when she is drunk! She has fallen down stairs and had to have stitches in her head as well. The hardest thing is that when she sobers up she is completely normal. That is the hardest part about having anyone take her serious about needing help. She has learned to manipulate people to think she is fine and doesn't need help. Then a week passes and she is back at it again! I fear for her life, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares! No one will listen to her family on how sick she is!! I sit and wait for the phone to ring some day saying she has finally killed herself! I am at a loss for where to turn to save my sister! If she doesn't want to or can't save herself...who will?? I don't want my sister to be taken by these evil demons that she suffers from! Is there information that I can get for the state of Texas on how to help??

I think what you are doing is such great thing!I know on a personal level what the disease of addiction can do to a person,I have been an addict for thirty years and I thought for years the I was just a recational user because I was able to hold a good job,raise 2 beautiful girls ect.It was'nt until I got a hold of opiates about 4 years ago and my life just seem to slip away slowly and I never thought my addiction could get that out of control.I feel its inportant that you know I live in south Florida because you can get these pills so easy from pain clinics that I feel that this a big part of this EPIDEMIC!!!The Fla. is has passed some new laws to prevent people from docter shopping but they are still not taking care of the true problem,which I feel is the awareness and treatment of drug addition.I final excepted that I have the disease of of addiction and needed to do something about it,So I started to attend N.A. meetings and I stayed clean for almost 9 months then relapsed and went to jail,It was probly the best thing to ever happen to me because if I did'nt get locked up I was going to die.I've now been clean for 8 months and I go to meetings everyday and Im involved with H&I which is hospital and institutions and in area service which it gives me the prevaledge to speak at rehabs and detox centers,This journey of recovery has been the best thing to happen to me since the birth of my childern and I know its just a daily reprieve from my disease but as long as I keep working a program and talk to my sponser everyday I have a chance and I believe thats a gift from God.Sharon once agian I think what you are doing is so awsome and your daughter is whatching down on you and smiling!!God bless you and feel free to contact me by phone or email 239-573-9871 or manufan0608@comcast.net P.S. tell Andy I said hi Hi Sharon, You may know my father Randy.

It is so very hard to find the right information to help all people who are addicted. This act is so needed. I thank God for all your efforts to get this passed. We are in need of courageous people like you. I believe with God all things are possible. I will pray for the passage of this act. I’m so glad you are trying to cut all the red tape.

The holidays, his 6 month annivesary and his birthday was 1/22. He would have been 29. All of this has taken us to a different level of greif. We go to counseling twice a month. It helps us cope but it does not lessen the hurt. I have been told it could take 5 to 6 years to get over this. Some how we must get thru this. Our faith does sustain us.
