My 24 year old daughter is home, withdrawing from heroin. [View all]
She's been in the city for 6 years, going to school and working part time. We've been supporting her. She earned her degree in environmental science last year and has been "looking" for full time work ever since. I've been giving her money for a while, and have known deep down that there was something wrong. I'd put $100 in her account, and the next day she would ask for money. I'd refuse, but always give in. Her friends were sleazy and I knew that too. They were mostly flopping at her place, which happens to be a one bedroom condo we own.
We brought her home, she's supposed to start a full time job tomorrow but is sick as a dog with withdrawal. She has suboxone that she got from one of her friends and has used it before when she didn't have access to heroin, which she smokes. She has enough for three days, then she thinks she'll be clean and ok and ready to tackle her new full time job (which she did part time in high school).
I have nothing more to say, this is new to me.. I've had my own addictions, but this is new.
