Something I hate: addiction. I have a close friend that is battling and succeeding in the fact that she hasn't used, but her husband left her because he didn't believe her even though she has had 12 clean urines. I don't really know his side of the story, so I won't judge. I just know that she does have a bad track record and maybe he was just tired. I want to help her so bad and am doing everything in my power, but its so hard to help people that don't make the right choices. She is supposed to be going to groups 3 days a week and has missed most of them. I try and tell her that even though she is miserable, not sleeping, not eating, that the group is the best thing she can do for herself right now. But it seems to be falling on deaf ears. I'm frustrated. I'm a fixer, a nurturer, a mother. Its what I know and I don't know how to stop. Its starting to effect me in the fact that i'm getting crabby and depressed that I really can't do anything for her. Sorry for the rant, just had to get that off my chest.

How do you know her urine is clean?

That usually explains my usual mood because I can't help people I care about and that they don't take my advice or appreciate my attempts... I"m sorry
