I think my brother is coming around to the problem. This morning he called me, He asked me immediatly not to hang up the phone, he said that he was high, but that he had been thinking about what I said.. And that he knew he had a problem. I asked him if he was ready to get some help? He said not yet, But soon. I'm not sure if that was a good response or not, But at least he is admitting there is a problem.. right??? Kimmy
hopefully it's progress. I'm just glad you got to have your say in the matter. Every addicts gonna quit tommorw. Thing is it sucks to use but, it sucks to quit to. It's a real trap after the 1st few months of using the glammor fades but, then your hooked. I never wanted to be a addict yet 3-4 times a day i shot up. It's insane. Admitting and seeing the problems it's causing is helpful however. When i 1st starting i never saw the problems it was causing it was just every one elses issuse. Later i SAW but, I was to selfish to care it was tearing my world apart.
John is ready but in a way I think he is not.. He wants to then he doesnt. He also wants me there,, because he wont go to rehab or a clinic.. Im afraid of how well the recovery will go if he has no subs... And if he continues to be friends with his childhood friend who also uses still off and on. idk...
Ahhhhh, Kimberly it's a start.......he's thinking......I can't say anything better than ZG did........we know right where he is.
Kim, I just wanted to say.........you're right about his friendship.......I mean if the friend keeps using as well.......but down the road if they were both clean it could work.........my childhood friend.........we used together........and now we're both clean.........she's my anchor..........but when she got out of rehab and I had been clean like a few weeks ahead of her.........we didn't see eachother.
So, just wanted to share that with you..........and I think it's a little progress.

Talked to J's Wife today, She said He is using less. He hasnt stopped of course but he isnt as much. She knows because he cant without his friend..He doesnt get it from anyone but them. She says he is doing good and that she hopes he keeps using less until he is done.. But I guess only time can tell. I was planning a trip to go in for him, an alumni game that I wanna take part of, and to see my sisters and get stuff from my mom... But I got a new job, so I'll have to wait at least three months before I can request any time off :(... Also Brian is doing Great. He is even enjoying himself.. But still Cannot wait to be home.. He may get a small leave and be home for christmas.. Fingers are crossed.
It's positive that he talked to you. And that you are accepting this has to be done in his time. Recovery comes in small steps, forward, backward, then hopefully forward again.
All the best, Maddy x

Glad to hear Brian is doing good he's so young so FAR from home i'm holding out hope he gets to come back to the states for Christmas. If he gets a leave we'll have to arrange a visit with you guys.
Thank you for the kind words and support.. And Zerogirl.. Yeah If he comes home we should definatly meet up and all that. I hope he makes it in, but we dont want to compromise his time for his brothers wedding next year... So we just sit and wait to see what happens now.
You were right about the steps, forward and back again. He was high today, maybe it was just that, but he said he doesnt need to change, and he isnt doing anything worng...Just got mad and hung up the phone..
