my sis is prego and finally off herion...is it possible she will go back to old ways?

i have spent the past 4 years trying to get my sis clean and nothing has worked until she got pregnant and she cleaned up completely! sorry i can't spell worth shit but i am really scared that she is going to have her baby and go back to the same shit!! i am scared of what is going to happen....

 

this is pretty much the only drug i haven't messed with and i dont know if the addiction will pull her back in or if she is off for good....i dont know how it makes you feel and keeps pulling her back in....i am just curious on what anyone who knows anything about this thinks. shit i am scared to try it just from her telling me how it just makes her numb to all of her surroundings...no drama bullshit going on when she was high....that would be nice to not worry but at what cost for me....she couldnt function or anything when i have met people who have jobs and take care of their everyday life shit while still shooting up. i cant figure out how it completely takes over some and some are still functional! shit i am lost!!!

 

^The addiction is very capable of pulling her back in. But she needs to be clean for her baby, i think. Hopefully the energy from the new baby, (hopefully there), will move the mother into wanting to be clean...idk.

I do know heroin addiction and it can pull people back in when they have been clean for a little while.

 

I hope for her baby's sake see will stay clean. It is a very real possibility she could go back. Heroin is not only incredibly hard to quit, but it's even harder to stay clean. The sad reality about addiction is everything gets thrown to the wayside when you need drugs, even your own child. I hope and pray she keeps it together (for the baby's sake) I know how bad it is growing up a child of drug addicts and it probably had a very negative effect on my life.

Stick with her, don't bring up drugs at all, any talk about drugs could certainly have a bad effect on her sobriety. I hope she stays clean man, it breaks my heart whenever I she a baby without her mother because of drugs.

 

I reccomend researching Iboga/Ibogaine. It's not the be all end all but it has been completely life-changing for thousands....

Obviously she cant so that while pregnant, but if she can only hold on until the baby comes, then she could go that route. Maybe if she learns about iboga now it will give her the hope that she needs to get through her pregnancy and stay clean.

I'll be thinking of you and her during my meditations and sending you love. Good luck, let us know how things are going.

 

Yea.. she does have a high rate of relaspe. But ultimately it's nothing she can't over-come.. Just stay behind her all the way and take care of the little one when needed.. blessings.

 

mandapanda, sounds like you love her dearly. The emotional struggle of having a sibling addict is rough. I thank the Gods she has you! Keep up your good effort, this baby's life depends on it.

I agree with EggoKiller:
Stick with her, don't bring up drugs at all, any talk about drugs could certainly have a bad effect on her sobriety.

Stay strong.
