We will help you get your mom off drugs!

Ok, my mom has been to rehab, therapy, meetings, and the whole shabam for alcohol addiction. Nothing is working and today she was not ok. She started flipping out over nothing and throwing things (such as my cell phone at a glass table mad at my dad and anything!) and it was so bad. She was fighting with my dad and it was so horrible. Not the worse, but I’m sooo shaken up from it. I was so scared and she was going to run away, but she was in rage and drunk and I stole the car keys from her and I had a melt down crying trying so hard to contain myself. I finally got her to go inside and she started screaming like an INSANE person. She was screaming and whaling at the top of her lungs and started throwing up she was so mad bent over. And than she peed herself and I got her to calm down and she went to her room and slammed the door. I was home alone with her by the way I’m 12. After my dad got home finally they fought and after her sobering up they just acted like NOTHING HAPPENED!?! Made up TA-DA after I’m still shaking. I thought she was suicidal and they do NOTHING! And they just hugged and now everything is “ok.” And now she is back to somewhat normal, but how can i erase this from my head! Much bigger fights happened from when I was even younger. This def isn’t the worst at all that’s happened, but now that I’m older I’m fed up. I’m becoming traumatized from it. I went to therapy once, but I can’t go now or meetings nothing. How do I handle this? I want to act my age and I’m not that brave. I grew up with this and the scary thing this isn’t even out of the ordinary for me at all. It’s affecting my relationships with everyone. My friends are mad at me now to for ditching them because I had to help my mom. :[ I can’t tell them either. Help? :\

I have a younger brother who is 21. He had gotten mixed up with drugs and is now living at home with my parents. It seems that he has substituted his drug use with alcohol abuse. He has gotten VERY violent with my mother and threatened her. Last night he tried to kill himself, but wound up shooting a hole in the wall. My mom is trying to find someone to help him and everyone is telling her that he has to check himself into rehab or therapy due to his age. We live in Colorado. Does anyone know someone we can call in Colorado who can help him. He is not in his right mind and will not allow himself to be checked in anywhere. We love him and want him to be ok and I am VERY worried about my mother as well. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks.

A friend of mine is asking for my help because her mom is suffering from a case of prescription drug addiction. I never really thought that people can get addicted to prescription drugs. I really want to help them out.

Though I respect the role of religion in recovery, I am worried about my friend’s new and extreme evangelical Christianity. He was heavily addicted to meth, went into a year long rehab in an evangelical Christian center, and has never been the same. When he got out, he spoke much of Christ. That was fine, since he found a guiding light, if you will. But he went back into the drugs. Now he’s been off of them again for a month. He’s broken up with the mother of his child, is convinced she’s possessed by demons, see’s thing in zealous and fanatical terms…I worry that he’s suffered permanent damage from the drug. He attributes certain psychological states to receiving the Holy Spirit (not that I don’t think that such experiences are unreal; rather, I think his is a sign of some extreme chemical imbalances).

Please, I’m not looking for any lecture on the way of God. I’m looking for some clues from someone with psychological knowledge who can point me in a direction to researc

My mom has been addicted to prescription drugs for the past 6 years or so. She will go to alot of different doctors to get her fix. She also has her boyfriend going to doctors to get her the pills that she wants. If she runs out or misplaces her pills she will flip out. She also recently found out that she has a tumor on her brain which gives her more of a reason to use the pills. She will do anything to get them. She is also running from the law right now and I really need to know what I can do to get her put somewhere if there is anything at all that I can do. I feel so helpless in this situation but I cant help her anymore other than doing this I have kids to think of and she is not someone taht i want my kids to be around. Please help. Thank you

I do want to get help for my mom and I have already been through rehab so I know how it all works but I am not too sure as to what can be done. She is doing nothing but trying to use the people that care about her and I refuse to do it anymore but everyone else seems to think that it is their resonsibility to take care of her.

My dad went psyhco on 18th this year. Me and mom suspected he was doing alcohol abuse. I was think he drinks 4-7 cans a day. How many does make alcohol abuse?

My husbands mother was once addicted to several types of drugs…sleep aids and muscle relaxers. and some others, not sure all. she was a different person then the person we know and love.

We tried and tried to help her. she went through rehab a few times. she was finally becoming her normal self again. happy and aware of things. not always asleep. e lived in GA and she lives in WV…I would talk to her on the phone and I could tell she was doing very well!

we just recently moved here to WV and we been staying with her until we find a place of our own. She seemed to be doing very well. I was so proud of her.

BUT…as of 2 days ago she has been sleeping alot, talking weird, being VERY forgettful. coming into the bedroom where we been sleeping at night and asking if we want cookies and mumbling her words. shes showing signs of drug abuse again.

then I just got up to use the restroom a little bit ago…found sleep aid pills all in her sink, and the bottle in the sink. as if she tried to get some and spilled them. and now I can hear her out in the kitchen moving stuff around alot. like shes moving pots and pans. we locked the bedroom door..were affraid she will come in here while were asleep and try to pick up our 6 month old baby girl out of her crib. I dont want her around this crap. I dont know what to do.

I am a 12 year old girl. My dad and brother and sister all know thta my mom has a serious drinking problem. A few times I have tried taking away her alcohol and hiding it or locking myself in my room with it. Today is one of those times. As I locked myself in the bathroom I waited ten minutes and my mom had my Nintendo Ds with her because she stole it bribbing me with “If you give me that, I will give you this!” I didn’t fall for it. It took ten minutes and she was still begging by the bathroom door. I was sad because my mom always drinks and she has no job or no life and all my friends are always bragging about their awesome moms, but mine is terrible. So I opened the door hoping to run to my room (much safer, I have some weapons in case..), but she was right there. She came in the bathroom and got really physical. I threatened to throw things at her and I finally threw a hairbrush and she picked it up and threw it back at me. She threatened to drop my DS in the toilet if I didn’t give her her beer back. I knew she was serious, for she had done things like this before. I started screaming and crying as she begged and threatened for her alcohol back. I began bawling and gave it back to her and got my DS back. If my DS broke I would be in huge trouble and not have anything to play with! )’: So I went downstairs and was trying to talk to her through my tears. I explained that it is a torture for me to live here and I wanted a normal mother and everything. I explained what I wanted and needed. Now she will just drink more! My best friends know my secret, but they can’t do anything. I tried talking to my dad, and he understood, but he said he couldn’t do anything. I will tell my brother tonight so that we can work something out. Now I am afraid she will kill herself or something (like running away) because she threatened to run away and never come back. And she said since we all hate her don’t bother to come looking for her. Then she said the worst thing of all; “Maybe then Dad will find somebody better and you will have a mom you actually like.” I cannot stand it. I love her very much but wish she would stop drinking!!!!!!!!!! I cry every single day because she can’t buy me bras or new clothes && every holiday my friends tell me they get lots of presents, but I only get a few. My dad is working very very very hard to support our family & that is why I love him most. )’: It’s just that I don’t know what to do anymore! I don’t want to cry everynight, I don’t want my mom to run away, and I don’t want her to keep drinking. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

P.S. —–I want to call the police when my brother gets home from school, but I would be in serious trouble! My mom could go to court for child-abuse and maybe go to jail, which I would consider. But then again my whole family would hate me! They don’t know how I feel! And then my mom will hate me A LOT and I would not have a mom anymore )’: then again if I called one of those drug helplines my Dad would be pi$$3d off because he would have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars! I’m scared someone might get hurt )’:

P.S.S. ——– )’: Before she threatened to hurt me and my dad had a talk with her!!

)’: PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

Can the already developed ova that are in a woman’s body from birth be damaged from years of hard drug use, specifically opiate, marijuana and cocaine abuse? I am curious to know if the child of a former heroin addict is at risk of being born with any birth defects both physical and mental. The mother has been free from drugs for six years. I want to know if ova can be altered while dormant in the ovaries and lead to problems years later if the egg is fertilized. Thank you.

My mom has been severely depression for the past several years. She has many issues. Alcohol is an issue to. She has lost numerous jobs due to not going to work because she got to drunk the night before. It has affected her relationship with my dad (they are seperated). She is suppose to start a new job monday (i doubt that will last). She has no insurance. My mom needs help and i dont know what do. Where can she go. I know she wont go to AA, but she needs help like talking to a counselor or something. Please any advice!!!
Im not a teen im 22 years old. My mom has hit rock bottom. Her marriage of 23 years has fallen apart. She has no money, a van that will soon die. And living with her mom and dad .

She has always been very secretive about her life and doesn’t like me to know her “personal” business, so I don’t know if I’d be digging myself into a deeper hole if I started asking her about the treatment center, etc. She’s only been there for two days and I’m expecting a phone call from her today.

He is 19 and I’ve asked him to stop smoking pot over and over, he promised he wouldn’t and now admits he still does anyways. He claims that it’s all my fault started anyways because his first time was with me. He took it too far, and I got disgusted with it(and seeing him under the influence) and quit forever myself quite some time ago. His mother hates that he does drugs and blames me. She doesn’t know that I’ve quit a long time ago though. I hate it just as much as she does. Can I get him to go to a rehab so he is not allowed to get high? I asked him already and he said no though.

With me being in recovery from crystal meth the pain is overwhelming I need some straight advise.
verbal and emotional abuse.

I am a foster parent of a child in Tennessee. The baby is the third child the mother had born addicted to drugs. They charged her with severe abuse, and she agreed to the charge. Yet, nothing else has happened. She didn’t have to go to jail, or anything, and the state has not terminated her parental rights. I was just wondering what a sever child abuse charge means? Is she still allowed to have children? Or is it like a sex offender? Is she allowed to work around children? Or is it she got the charge but nothing comes of it? Thanks for your help in clarifying!

2 of 2: Faith Dixon came to the UK when she was 11. Her mother went with a man who started molesting her. She told her mother and was thrown out onto the streets at 13. She then went through about ten different children’s homes. Violence began to mark her behaviour, she chopped one of the male workers in the neck for coming into a room of 5 girls and did three months in the block. When back out on the street, her parents wouldn’t take her in, even when her appendix burst on the street. When her social worker wouldn’t give her a suit she chopped him in his neck, and she wound up in a mental hospital secure unit. Fed pills from morning till night, she didn’t know where she was or what time it was. When she got outside she got married, had a kid, but the life of always being on the move staying in a different place had affected her. She wound up in prison, and when she came out got into crack via her boyfriend, and that was it, smoking bare crack and more crack. Travelling to New York, eventually in the darkness, she met a guy called brother Alex, who came in to talk to the addicts about Jesus. She let him take her to a rehab place, cos she had cut up, and got so so miserable by this point. She was in the miry clay, deep down and sinking sinking. A drug addict with no place to stay. Going to church, she realised that God must have had a hand in her life, in preserving her life on sooooo many occasions. One time later, a Christian said to her, “The Lord wants you, you know. Stop running away.” At that time she was drug dealing and going to a church giving some money into the collection, but running from the things of God. Coming back to London and a smaller church, she found out all that God had planned for her, his love, the inheritance she had in heaven, and it began to effect her. She got some opportunity to share her life story in prisons, and felt blessed by at last being able to help people and encourage them. As she gained a new mindset, and the ‘renewing of her mind’ through the Word, she began to look at things – the past, and the future – in a different light. Now she’s got Jesus Christ, her Lord and Saviour, and she doesn’t need to worry, people are jealous of such a shepherd whose looked after her. “I’m not where I should be, but I’m not where I used to be I’m on my way.” Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever, what he’s done for Faith, he can do for you and yours.

Substance abuse prevention speakers take the topic seriously, but sometimes I wonder just how many others do? I suppose as a substance abuse prevention speaker who knows the pain and torment personally from an experiential level, I am more apt to see the danger in substance abuse and drunk driving.

I grew up the son of a mother (a former high school cheerleader and honor graduate) who was an alcoholic and substance abuser. As a child I saw my beloved mother self-destruct and torment my grandparents as a result of alcoholism and using every drug imaginable. Ironically, my mother (a former drunk driver herself) was killed when crossing the road as a pedestrian when an 18 year-old drunk driver hit her – killing her on impact.

Dead on arrival, police awaited the return of the young drunk driver who left the scene of the accident. Upon returning, the police video (which I later painfully watched) showed the young man crying and screaming, “I can’t live with this on my mind!”

As a former lifeguard and fitness trainer I don’t drink alcohol to this day. Yet I don’t condemn those who do and kindly serve as the designated driver whenever anybody close to me drinks.

After a childhood of pain and hell as a result of substance abuse and drunk driving, I myself was hit and nearly killed in July 2008 by a drunk driver (a two-time DUI offender driving after her license was revoked). The 61 year-old lady barreling down the road in a large Chevy truck, driving drunk at 4:40PM on a Tuesday afternoon, hit my car repeatedly (completely totaling it and nearly killing me) without stopping, attempting to flee the scene of the accident, after which she hit and totaled a parked car before being arrested by police.

For nearly five months I drove numerous rental cars, while battling my insurance company to be financially compensated to purchase a replacement vehicle for my automobile totaled by the negligible drunk driver. Even worse I spent days and nights in hospitals and doctors’ offices receiving medical treatment after the accident for injuries, which still cause me pain and trouble to this day. The added stress and strain medically and financially also negatively affected my marriage, as logistically my wife and I shared the one vehicle the drunk driver totaled.

Personally encountering the crooked and fraudulent business practices of tow truck companies, medical professionals, insurance claims adjusters, and car salesmen added additional aggravation and suffering to my life at a time when I was most vulnerable.

Nevertheless I somehow persevered and battled through it all to stand tall, becoming a voice of conscience to substance abusers, drunk drivers, they who prey on victims of catastrophic accidents, and those suffering through seasons of tragedy turning their world upside down.

I guess God spared my life so I can speak to others.
