generations to come?

[Tim]

Hello all
For the last year I have be dealing with a pain I could never express if
I did this F2F. I am watching my only offspring start to slowly kill herself
with addictions. I just can't understand why I have to live through this but
god puts things into our lives each and every day to encourage us and to
help us learn. The problem I have is that she has never seen me actively use
she has been to open meetings and recovery get-together.

I have stopped asking why and I am learning just for my gods will, but
it is very hard not to just scream. she has been to three pysch wards and at
last was diagnosed with fast-cycling bi-polar. This could be why she using
and I can only hope that as the days pass I can say it was. I guess the
reason for the post is that I heard this from a very good friend in recovery
and I thought I would share it with my family " I thank god each day that I
get to spend with my daughter, for she should be dead because of addictions
so each day with her is a gift from god and I will cherish it like that"
Since I heard that I have taken a whole new outlook on my relationship with
my offspring and I have open a new page in both of our lives. Because we are
both learning about living life "one day at a time"

Thanks for Reading I pass
Peace out
Tim

Tim,

I have been on the other side of the fence slowly killing myself. I am
sure it pained those that cared for me. I pray that something happens so
that she is able to overcome her addictions and get a handle on her
bi-polar disorder. I know it is tough for both of you. Neither of my
children are old enough yet to be where your daughter is currently.
Don't give up on her. Miracles happen daily.
