Have you a family member or close friend who has an addiction to drugs or alcohol? Has there been an intervention? Hs the member/friend been to an RTF (residential treatment fac ility)? Have there been relapses?
OR, has the person been in recovery for awhile? How long?|
What kind of relationship do you have with this peson?
This question is so old, though.

My uncle died recently due to complications from alcoholism.
My oldest aunt died in prison a few years ago,from complications due to Hepatitis she contracted sharing dirty needless.
My youngest aunt has been addicted to pills for years and I have heard she has recently begun taking Meth.
My mother doesn't miss a day at the bar.
Both my uncle and aunt who have passed away did try rehab, but it only worked briefly before they returned to their old ways.

I have a relative who is a prescription drug addict. All of her drugs are necessary in her mind. She's always in pain and keeps finding new doctors "who understand". When they don't, she moves on to the next MD. The only relationships that she has, are with those who are also "understanding and in pain". Uh huh.

As a non practising alcoholic i do not associate with people who drink or take drugs,i have 30 odd years sober,and i have a healthy fear of returning to a world that God got me out of.i have had people ask me why i do not try and help people out of the world i came from,,and i have always answered,i am too afraid i might get dragged back into that world,,there is a saying in AA,always bend a helping hand down into the gutter to help a drunk,never get into the gutter to help a drunk..there are more people who die in that world than get out of it,,i have had more 2nd chances than i know,,so for me,staying away from it is the best option..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

I have a small family, but nobody's had a drug prob. Some of them have had a few too many drinks at times.

It's emotionally exhausting.
