I don’t know how to feel
My daughter has been a heroin addict and she has also had other addictions including injecting heroin for over 25 years now ... I have had her in rehabs some free some I paid for with credit cards ... I tried so very hard to save her but it didn’t work this is probably the same story as every parent on this forum her illness broke us as a family ...with all of the lies broken hearts like a cancer relentless..Eventually I let go and started using the program of recovery on family Anonymous and have been getting help from the wonderful people on here whom have come through this journey... of relentless pain and struggle so first and foremost thank you to all on this forum you have been my salvation..
I have just been told she was going to prison ( she had always managed to avoid this ) anyway the sheriff said to her in court she could go to jail or go on a carefully run project live in where there would be psychiatric physiologists medical and trained staff I have looked it all up and a lawyer friend told me it is an excellent project ...
So my daughter is off everything for 5 months now and apparently she is doing very well I think this is the longest ...
I can’t feel anything I feel numb how do you go from 25 years of hell to being ok .. I only heard yesterday...
Does anyone have any experience of this as I say a ray of hope maybe

Ah Lesleerose,
How wonderful is that! To be clean for 5 months, after so any years using, us just fantastic! Well done to your daughter.
I don't have personal experience to share with you unfortunately, but perhaps this was just the right time for her. "Something" has motivated her to continue her programme, so whatever that something is, I hope it continues to work it's magic. Not to forget the work your daughter must be putting in also. Good on her!
I can understand why you would feel numb at the momebt. Maybe once she has been clean for longer, your feelings will change. I think it would be a normal way to feel, self protection also - a fear to build your hopes up. But yes, I say a little ray of hope, which is just great news.
Much Love

Re: A ray of hope
Thank you so very much L unless you understand and have an understanding it’s so very difficult.... I haven’t seen her for over a year now last year she was sleeping in the park And was the worst I have seen her so I gave her one last chance and paid for a 4 week detox and told her if she walked out it would be back to the park and not to contact me which she hasn’t ( this is what she always did usually with a boyfriend in tow ) so once again she walked out with a boyfriend...
This place she is in is women only so hopefully it is her turn because there’s a little girl that needs her mummy
Again bless you all on here
I think I will sleep tonight
