  i was wondering if any of you have experienced this problem or know of someone that has.

  i know someone with this problem and this person is in counseling and taking medication to fight the cravings, but it's still a constant battle.

  it's my daughter, and i'm desperate for advice.

  Well, today was a very good day. She went to the clinic and talked to the counceler and he told her that these setbacks were very common and to not give up. Which is what I had been telling her too. But it helps to hear this from a professional. So we need to just take one day at a time and be thankful when it goes well. And not dwell on how long this journey might take. It will end someday.

  I don't think so. I dropped money in the Salvation Army bucket during the XMAS drive and I don't think I'll be destroyed for that either.

  My daughter does go twice a week to the clinic and they do random drug tests which she has passed every time. She has been on this for 9 months now. I was also thinking that the dose of methadone might not be right. I've also heard that the side affects from it are sometimes worse than what you were taking to begin with. But we had to do something. She goes back in today and I might try and go with her. Thanks everyone for your comments. It helps so much to know that I'm not alone and others know how I feel.

  Choosing life, yes she does want to stop and is taking methadone and getting counseling at a clinic. But she is still having cravings and gives in to these once in a while. It just worries me so much because I know with methadone it is very dangerous to mix different drugs. This does'nt happen very often, but when it does it takes a toll on her, her husband,babies and me as well.

  My daughter started Loratab a few years ago when she had kidney stones and had to take them for a while. I guess she discovered they made her feel good emotionally as well as physically. So it started then which has been about 7 years ago I guess. Anyway, it's been a roller coaster ride of emotions for me.

  Undercover, I hear what you are saying. I sometimes think I'm enableing her because I help pay for the clinic she goes to and she is off the drugs that she went there for, but she still tries to get other things, such as nerve pills etc. But I will try and locate some books. I had not thought of doing that. Thanks.

It's my daughter, and I'm desperate for advice. Should I be tough with her or be an old softy like I've been lately? Any responses would be so appreciated.
