First I want to begin by saying I am very proud of a choice my daughter made today.
We had a girls night out last night. Late movie, came home and watched another good movie on TV. About 2 am we decided we were finally hungry as we had filled up on popcorn at the movie and didn't eat dinner. We went to a 24 hour resturant and watched the drunks over breakfast.
Afterwards about 3:30 am she asked me to drop her off at a friends house. I wasn't happy about it but she is an adult. I thought here we go. when we got there the friend...a guy, came out and she introduced us. He doesn't look like a user,and I'm pretty good at spotting the addict by now. He was very polite and let me know he would take good care of her. She called and checked in this afternoon. Then she called me from a casino and asked me to come pick her up. She said there were ppl there she didn't want to be around. PPl she used with. I was so very proud of her choice! I am not so foolish as to believe she hasn't either used or at least thought about it, since getting out of jail, but I haven't seen her high and none of the signs of use are there... sleep pattern is normal, she's eating, and not angry all the time. Now for my question,
How do you begin to make a new set of friends? I feel really bad for her. She hasn't got any friends anymore other than the ppl she used to use with,and we know they are not really friends. There is nothing to do in this town. It is a large city, not a small town by any means, But there is actually nothing to do here. Bowling, movies, putt putt that's it. How did you cultivate new friends? I really don't want to see her sit around with me all the time. She is to young and beautiful to do that. Yet everytime she goes somewhere I worry she may use. Any ideas?
Thanks for letting me get longwinded.
