Bridget I have been in your situation before with family being on drugs. The first step to getting someone help is on them. They have to first realize that they want to get help because if they don't anything you say and or do will be for nothing. Just remember that she is the one who chose to do drugs and she is ultimately the one who will have to choose to stop. When your sister says she wants help just be there for her and get online for a N.A group or better yet look for a rehab home because it sounds like she needs a longer term program. God Bless you!

Bridget, I wish there was a way to help your sister but she has to want to stop or it will never work. It's the same with a drunk,they have to want to stop. It might take a big scare on her part like near death or an accident, something to make her really think. I put my self in rehab 4 times before i stopped and i also had a car accident that woke me up. my family disowned me and NO ONE helped me with anything,i had to hit rock bottom and do it all by myself. I stayed away from all those people that were using because they do not want to see anyone get better. I also moved out of the area to make sure i wasn't near them. I now have 10 years clean. Good luck and i really hope your sister turns her life around.

Totally off-limits. (a million) There's the "ick" element. You can recover from it, and evidently you've got, however society will regularly believe the identical means approximately your dating. Sorry that folks are so closed-minded, however it's biologically clever for them to be that means in this dilemma. (two) Statutory, statutory, statutory. She is also maturing bodily, however she's nonetheless a baby legally. (three) Don't complicate the connection. If the connection does not figure out, and it is most probably that it may not, loved ones parties will likely be very awkward one day. (four) It's now not valued at the strain of getting to maintain it a mystery. You have my sympathy, however no, under no circumstances in 1 years.

hey bridget i dont envy the position you are in and unfortunatly when i was younger i did the same thing to my sister, but like you she never gave up on me and eventually i started to listen. Your right your sis will hate you but remember its only coz she hates herself,she will be thankful one day but try to understand by her getting off it she has to face and work through what drove her to the drugs in the first place, the only thing i can advise is initially take her choice out of the situation because obviously she is making poor choices!! my sister took me home and locked me in she stayed with me for weeks and it was the hardest thing either of us have ever done but in the end its worth it.Until your sister is feeling better try to take away the option of her having drugs until she is strong enough to say no.Please make sure you have someone to help you to.I dont know if i have been helpful i just thought i would share my experience with you. Good Luck

You've gotta tell a guardian and get her official help. She's trying to drown out her pain with drugs because she feels that no one else cares. She will be mad at you at first however she is looking for someone to help her. You have to tell someone. Would you rather her be mad at you or be mad at yourself when you have to plan her funeral. Call a drug rehab clinic. Tell her school teacher. Talk to the people who are taking care of her (granted they are not part of the problem). Get her help. E-mail me if you need more help.

People will not change until they decide they want too. if your sister does not want to give up doing drugs then no help in the world will matter---your sister needs to come to that place in her life where she recognizes the negative affects her behavior is having on herself, her daughter, and all those who love her. good luck------perhaps you could attend a support group that helps others with loved ones who are addicts---you might find some helpful resources there.

well im not sure but i think you should just talk to her stight up and if she doesnt listen to you then i think you should ask her to try out a clinic or something, this one girl at my school had the same kind of problem except she was cutting herself and her mom made her go to some kind of clinic or hospital to help her with her problem and ive been able to see that she is getting muchhh muchh better.. f0or example she looks alot better and i think she is eating more..^^ hope that helped!!
~good luck~

Sit her down and have a one on one talk with her let her know something about you and maybe she will tell you what the problem is and just let her know that life is to preshious to throw it all away on drugs

Get your sister away from her bad influences. if she is too wild to stay in therapy or a treatment center get her away from everything rent a cabin somwhere so she can detox then you can talk to her while shes not high. Im not sure what I would do in your situation but if it was my brother I would know that nobody else would do it for him. do whatever it takes before its to late.
