Thank you Paddy...I feel so much love for you right at this moment.

My daughter has had a bladder disease since she was 14 (now 26). She has had a problem with Percocet for a while now. I have tried to take her prescription and dole out enough to last for a week, but that didn't work. She has an appointment tomorrow (her second) with a local clinic to see if she can get on a drug to help her detox. She comes by her addictive personality honestly. Her father is and has been for all of her life a raging alcoholic and for the last 10 years....well...I have been using alcohol to try to dull my pain (I feel so ashamed about that). I feel that her recovery is making me look honestly at myself and what I have allowed my life to become. Thank you so much for sharing so freely and know that I am taking all of this to be a sign from my Higher Power....

Paddy...you have been a blessing to me. Tonight I just feel like your post spoke to me..

Much love to you my friend!
