Don't be overly alarmed by the 'act fast' attitude.This could be a ploy to manipulate you.

And, Yes,I have been there and done that with drug addiction,I have been attending NA meetings for many years,helping with other addicts,seeing what happens throughout the recovery process.I am not above learning more.

The medication she asked for was not something I have personal experience with,that is why I had to read up on it.

How can we help you?

We will caution you on giving ANY financial assistance,CASH for instance.

If she needs meds,have the pharmacy charge your credit card,if it is cash for food.....go buy it for her,do not give cash.

An addict will do ANYTHING to keep an addiction going,even take from their own.Nothing has more draw than an addiction,it will break down every moral you have,end every relationship due to your need to feed it,instead of caring for anyone else...In the end my addiction was a career,not a drug problem,I had to work for what I needed,every dollar went to my using.

Before you have a bigger problem on your hands,seek AL-ANON meetings in your area.

I can help you find them if I knew your general metro area.

Please continue writing back,I am interested in the assistance we can all give in here,and 1 addict relieved of this burden is one more that will live to help another.
