Confidential Drug Rehabilitation

by ReSurge International

Question by Christine: Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings “allowing” “outside” Issues?
I have been clean for over a decade. I am getting sick and tired of folks coming in meetings talking about their sex life, children, dead cats, and physical ailments. There is a woman I know that has a different affliction every week.
Too, I find it very frustrating that some folks come in and ramble on and on hogging the entire meeting, without ever talking about the solution to living a productive life.
I understand patience and tolerance. However at times I feel like I am in the mental ward.

I was taught that we focus on SOLUTIONS-Not PROBLEMS! NA these days (at least where I live) causes me feel angry and “needing” a meeting after a meeting…

If I speak up, I am given the hairy eyeball…..*g*

I NEED RECOVERY! Any feedback and/or solutions?

i recently went to court to retain custody of my 2 yr old son, i went in front of the judge submitted a dna test police reports and such his order was mother is to complete 9 months of intensive impatient drug treatment, there was a no contact order issued he also made it pertantly clear that she can only see him at my approval under supervision after she completes 9 months of rehab

we recently moved to dobbs ferry from florida the order was issued in florida is there a law that protects me fro running into future problems seeing as the judges orders clearly state that i am the custodail parent and that she is to have no contact which means no calling me my wife my mother grandparents etc… weather it be her or anyonbe else doing it for her

my 2 year old son is very happy with the only woman he has ever called mommy he is very happy he is taken to the park he is given nothing but unconditional love and this women who the last time saw him in febuary of 09 he cried as soon as i put him in her arms which was @ a halfway house and she still went out and smoked cracked

i dont get it i know i have to tell my son about her and i cannot wait until he is to old but he cant be to youbg either i do want him to know about her i will not ever tell him about the bad things i want him to choose if he wants a relationship with her assuming at that time she has long term sobreity (meaning 2 plus years)

i do not want him to resent me because he one day finda a birth certificate or sees pictures etc… i am just concerned about my son he has a good life and she (his biological) is only that and he will know her by her first name she has other kids whom she has nothing to do with i am just confused as to how to handle this situtation i knopw i am protected by the law i also know when the biological is sober she is not a bad person but i also know she cant tay clean to save her ass longer then a few months and all i want is for her to get well so my son can decide if he wants her in his life once he is old enough meaning somewhere between 5 & 7 yrs of age if i can find a correct way to tell him without tramatizing him because he has a Mommy and doesnt need a person in his life that wnats him to call her mommy yet is only there once every few months for day or so he was a convenience she used to ask me to keep him awake so she could play with him @ 11 pm @ night when he was only a yr old if he wouldnt eat she would force feed him i one time had to take him out of her hands and tell her to get the f**k away from my kid another time i had to pick her sorry azz up off the floor as she was passed out on drugs (many times)n i just dont know what to do i want the best life for my son and if that means she is a part of it somehow some way ok as long as he knows that she is only the biological , not the mommy

my son has so much love given to him by my wife and her sister and brother in law and all her cusins and her parents and ofcourse my mother and grand parents and aunt and uncles and cousins and so on please anyone who has experienced such things pos on this,thanks,

May GOD as you understand him/her/it bless you and your family

my spouse has horrible behavioral problems when he’s SOBER and not smoking pot. Has anyone experienced this? I know pot isn’t that dangerous a drug and I’ve never known anyone else besides him that’s become SO addicted that can’t function without it.

i’ve noticed a pattern when he runs out and can’t get it he gets angry and pops off easy to the point of physically harming me and becoming belligerent, paranoid, bullying–It’s like jekyll and hyde-ish. I don’t judge him but the more episodes of this the past few months, I’m realizing I don’t feel the same for him as I used to.

I find myself saving money and making future plans without him–I felt this way when I was growing up. My father was cool to me when he drank but when he was sober he was a tyrannical nutcase who abused me and I lost empathy for him–and ran away all the time until I finally met my husband he promised to protect me and he rescued me from this hellish environment. I never dreamed my husband would be like this. He’s not a bad person and it makes me sad because I feel like I’m losing him to a drug and I can’t stop it. He says things that he later regrets and he’s suspicious of the world, has a very jaded outlook like he expects people to be bad and try to get over on him so he has to project this tough guy facade and he says my sensitivity is weakness but I can’t help who I am.

I need to hear from others who have gone thru this–I never thought pot could cause such mental health issues and to be honest, I dream of being away from him and I’m actually happy when I don’t see him throughout the day. That’s a new feeling and it scares me
he keeps telling me “i dare you to leave me; you’ll never leave” so I wonder if all this is just testing my limits. maybe he wants to get dumped..

you know, there are the type of people who have issues becauyse of lost parents, or divorces, or fucked up childhoods, but their personality is pretty good and they are still good with people except they may be more vulnerable to alcoholism and drugs

then theres me. a guy who is so extremely sensitive and defensive, like i have these fucking sensitive ass SENSORS that just go off and i get all crazy when someone i care about says something about me that makes me feel bad. low self esteem. i have issues where i dont have normal conversation skills or relationships because of this. I RATHER have the first type of “issues” i talked about above because at least that person can have normal relationships and be liked without hiding.

A potential alcohol problem, need advice?
I very rarely drink. There is a good reason for this. All of my uncles (8) including my dad were or are alcoholics. I have a constant urge to drink, always in the back of my mind. Lately, however, it’s been more at the surface. I cant get it out of my mind. I have told my husband this, but he thinks it’s funny. He doesnt understand why I dont like him drinking around me or having beers lying around. He just doesnt get it. I have a terrible urge to drink all the mike’s hard lemonade in my closet that I have hidden. I have never passed out or even gotten sick from drinking in the past. I could so easily become an alcoholic BUT.. do you think I already AM?? this urge is just so crazy and it’s driving me nuts.

I must add that my uncle just passed away from chronic alcoholism and since this, my urge has become unbearable. I have had thoughts about this before (I used to drink in excess in my early 20s but pregnancy stopped me) but after my uncle’s death, it’s gone tenfold.

My fiancee and I are planning on having our wedding in October, but due to some rehab-related issues on his part, we want to do a small court house wedding in the much nearer future. We would still have the actual dress-tux-cake-and-all wedding in October, but I’m afraid our parents would be devastated if we did the sooner one without them. In the chance that it does happen, is there any way our parents would find out through, say, tax or insurance related things, since I’m still at home and his parents’ insurance is linked to his rehab?
