#recovery #addictsmom #addict My daughter messaged me asking what I was doing for the holiday, I'm not a huge celebrator to begin with but I do wish that I could cook a delicious meal and like have her stay the weekend and be cozy have treats and watch movies, instead of telling her nothing and that I "might be coming down with something" which is technically true. I hate the expectations around the holidays and feeling sad that she is cold alone on the street .

I have been sober for over 40 years and when my daughter was in your daughter’s place, she told me I don’t understand because my addiction was “just alcohol”. I was incredibly fortunate to have a very high bottom.
But she finally got clean after a fentanyl overdose. It was a miracle they got her heart started again. She celebrated seven years clean and sober.
I hope for the holiday season your daughter is able to get clean and stay there.

@J_Windrow I'm 33 years in and "bisteptual" I used everything mostly coke and crank but alcohol was a mainstay and my bottom was pretty low by late 80s standards lol my first NA sponsor was a heroin addict and I went through many relapses of hers and have lost many friends to that. in my experience this fentanyl shit is just the worst , I'm grateful I got clean when I did because I don't think I'd have survived these "new" drugs , thanks for reminder that where there's breath there's hope.
