Hi ecigchic,
First I want to say how sorry I am for you and the situation that you are in. I just put myself through a rough situation that I don’t ever want to live through again. I had run short of my subs, so reading that you had to stretch your months’ supply over a three months period of time… Yikes, I feel for you girl. Omg I don’t think I could make it through it.
And then also I just want to share my thoughts on your situation… being that you are back at home and your parents are being VERY hard on you, it may be a good idea for you to go to a support group where you could learn how to use boundaries. Although we should always respect our parents at no matter what age we are, you are still an adult and also human and deserve to be treated with love and respect.
Whenever I am faced with hard times or scary things and I am faced with, what am I going to do situations? I go into survival mode. One of the things that I would be thinking about and it is not like what you would call a shelter is the YWCA. Also there is the Oxford homes for women and children but the only thing with them are that you could not be on sub or mmt.
I am not saying get off your treatment. I am just trying to help suggest ideas. If there ever was a time that you were staying clean/sober on your own without medical assistance then the oxford home would be one way to gain your independence and break that cycle your family has on you.
And you never know it just depends on the oxford homes in your area, they may let you live there and be on your treatment. It would be worth checking into. The link for them is http://www.oxfordhouse.org/userfiles/file/
Even if there were not any in your area you could possibly look in a surrounding area.
With the issue of your subs, I don’t know about the state assistance down there or if you have already tried that, but you could go to them and ask for assistance as you are a drug addict and need sub or mmt. I am in Wa state and I know that we have public assistant programs for people needing addiction treatment. I hope that things start to look up for you and I hope that you and your girls are having a good Christmas.
Keep us updated and I will be here to lend an ear and shoulder to.
