Why families know more about addiction than most doctors

Once again I am so sorry for what you have been thru with your daughter. I believe you are right in taking care of yourself now. I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you and am sorry you are hurting.

I still must add one thing, I absolutely do not believe that your daughters problem is sub, I am not saying she doesn’t use it but it is nearly impossible for sub to continued to be abused and cause the behaviors you are suggesting. After a fairly short time on sub a person can not get any sort of high from it, no matter how much you take. Essentially after just a short time on sub an opiate addict simply feels "normal" or whatever you want to call it but definately no euphoria.

In your post you seem to acknowledge that your daughter tells lie after lie so is it such a stretch to believe she is using other drugs and blaming it on the sub? I am not saying this to insult or question you but I truly believe your daughters issues are not sub induced. If no other drugs really are involved (which I highly doubt) then I would believe her behavior to be caused by a mental disorder. Sub just doesn’t work that way. I wish you a happy, healthy life and sincerely hope that one day your daughter will be ready to accept the help she needs.
