Yeah, I had gotten really bad off. I felt everything everyone said to me was an attack at me and I refused to listen to reason and sense. Now I know in order to remain sober/clean, I need to take advice from my fellow recovering addicts and do what's been suggested to me.

You're also very right, Richard. I don't regret helping her, she's my family and I'd never regret helping her. I was just disappointed, I guess. I tried so hard to help her I was starting to lose sense of her needing to help herself. I wanted so bad to help her because when I was 17, I was on the streets doing dope left and right and basically killing myself by some of the things I was doing. I had no stable home by choice. I had no parents to love me by choice. I had no real freedom by choice, because my addiction was more important to me than the real things in life. I didn't want her to go through that. But I guess you gotta let them learn for themselves. Can't make someone be clean if they don't want that life.
