Discussion-lies
I thought I would start a discussion about something that has been bothering me about addicts. Ok, a little backround. There is a young man who was a person that my ran in my daughter's drug circle. When she was in the strict sober house less than a year ago he asked to go visit her and I was assured he was in recovery. My younger daughter drove him and he was nodding out and told her he takes xanex from his doctor. My AD was so upset and I messaged him that he put both my daughter's in jeopardy and stay away. Well ,the come back to me was nasty. Anyway, I hear this last April he was wasted at our Spring festival in town. My AD said he deleted her on facebook when she said he was not really clean and sober. He just celebrated his one year clean and sober. Really. My AD tells me he crushes Suboxone and take Xanex daily. My younger daughter posted without any names that she didn't like when people say they are clean and are not. She saw all the congratulations and comments from teachers etc.... Immediately he came back at her vigiously. Along with his family members. She was so upset, she stopped her facebook account. I have this superpower that I can look at a facebook page and just by the comments and people that they are hanging with, I know the truth. Anyway, what bothers me is, how can parents and doctor's (he has a suboxone doctor and I would imagine another doctor for the Xanex) and fellow AA/NA members not see what I see and call him out on it. And what about his sponsor. One time when my daughter was going for a celebration tag and I knew she was still smoking pot and drinking, she asked me to go. I said, why would I celebrate a lie, and believe me you do not want me there. I will not lie for you. I know it is none of my business but if this young man walked in to my house and he was high, I would look right at him and say "You are High" and I have done it to other kids. How can everyone be so blind. I just see the hard work and dedication that my AD has been doing and I guess it bothers me too. Posted: 09/21/2012 5:53 AM
