Hi everyone, I was on here a few years ago and guess what, nothing has changed with my daughter. Im still trying to save her from her addiction to any type drugs I can. She is still overdosing. Right around 11 times now. Spice, snorting meth, shooting meth, lsd, huffing, self medicating on Rx meditation...ambien, xanax, perc, narcos, Roxie's, and now she has a Dr that has put her on Subs. And she sells all but about 30 of her subs so she stills has enough to take with her ambien and xanax. I have pleased, begged, prayed and cried to her to stop. Well, it's of course not working. She is having seizures because of the spice she has done. So....I'm living with her to make sure she doesn't die during a seizure. She hasn't smoked spice but one time since I've been here and it easy absolutely horrible. I woke up one morning and caught her where she had been huffing all night. As I'm writing this, I'm having to listen to her make all kinds of strange noises as she sleeps. Which, its not anything new for her to do anything else but to sleep. I just don't undersand. And I dont know what to do. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I can't seen to reach her. How can I find a way to reach her? How do I find a way to save my daughter! Any advice, suggestions, no matter how blunt they may be.. I desperately need help please.
This is an absolutely horrible situation. I feel your panic and the horrible sadness and fear. I don't understand these situations, even though I now mentally understand addiction. It still does not help the heart understand this self-destruction.
We really cannot save them, as much as we want to. I am glad you came back here to share and get support. This is a tragedy that you did not cause and as much as we want to, we cannot fix or stop. : (
You're not alone and we are here to listen and try to help.

I am so sorry you and your daughter are going through this heartbreak and nightmare together.
I am sure you have tried everything, everywhere.
I am not an expert. My suggestion would be to physically stop in at local recovery center, hospital, rehab, ask the same questions you are asking here. What can be done for your daughter in this condition. It sounds like she is seeing doctors. keep at the doctors and medical community. keep asking for help. a door might open up a bit somewhere.
aim to find counselling for yourself - try a local recovery center. they might have services for family members. find a counsellor who has a background in addiction. a regular therapist will not be helpful.
you need to be able to talk to someone. you are carrying a lot on your shoulders. the weight of the past, present and future. a counsellor in an addiction center would be able to point you in the direction of more services available for you and your daughter.

Hi everyone, thank you for your replies. I have been beyond myself with depression. I am going to a Councelor, but I can't get her to go to one. And as an adult, I don't know what I can do to get her the help that she so desperately needs. I have, at one time, by law after she was in the hospital due to an OD, and with the drs recommendation, put her in front of a judge with him putting her in a 5 month rehab, which was actually a joke. She was supposed to follow up with outpatient care, which she didn't. As soon as she got out, she found her "buddies" and relapsed again. If no one has seen their child in a full blown OD situation, I can only pray to GOD that you never have to witness that. She has been on life support twice. The first time for nine days the second for seven. Sometimes she will stay clean for three months, but that's about the extent of it. Like I said, I'm staying with her to make sure things don't get to out of hand. But then sometimes I ask myself,...should I stay or should I go. But then then I think, if I go and something really bad happens, I
would never be able to forgive myself.
