[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need more info here.

Is this a scenario where you are in recovery from opiods and that's what she od-ed on, and you are saying your DH may drink too much?

Or are you saying you are all three in recovery from the same thing?

The specifics really matter here.[/quote] I'm a recovering alcoholic. Ex is an active alcoholic. Our kid used opioids. I've been in recovery long enough that I know several kids who died in the last few years after relapsing - some from alcohol, some from cross addictions. And I know many more young people who are doing great in sobriety. I would like to gently encourage her to find a program or therapy that will help her address the underlying issues that lead to substance abuse. Her father would rather ignore. And I know from the active addict perspective that you ALWAYS want to go in the direction of the people telling you it's not so bad. It took a low bottom for me to get sober. I can't force any of this on her. I just hope the next call isn't going to be the hospital asking me to come pick up her body. Which, of course, I did NOT say to her, but that is the reality of addiction especially when you get to the point of overdosing.[/quote]
