| 2009-07-26 | Tiffany | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks for the reply. I have written a letter to him. Just says everything I am feeling right now. I get really emotional when I have to confront people so I've done this incase I breakdown. Thank you for the advice. It is good to get some from someone who doesn't know us both. |

| 2008-12-30 | Shar | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your answer. It helped me know that I'm on the right track... and that I can be a little more demanding on my expectations for my boyfriend's post rehab activities. I will for sure check out alanon, and hopefully get him into going to NA meetings and working the steps. |

Here is my problem though..I got gestational diabetes when i was pregnat and gained alot of weight. So my syrenges were from my own supply. But NO ONE knows that i have been doing drugs[specially intraveniously]. I am scared to tell my husband or my best friend.My baby is 17 months so i have been doing this for about 6-7 months.Stealing from my Dads bathroom cabinet. How do i begin to tell them, and will the police be involved? |
