My younger sister is a junkie (sad story)

[L0rdJuni0r]

I am sad to say but my sister has been using needles. I bonded her out of jail a couple months ago. Her bond was $4000 and i went threw a bailbonds man and only paid $400. I didnt know she shot up at the time that i bonded her out. i knew she did drugs but i didnt think that hardcore. Anywayz....i started to have a feeling that she didnt want to show up to court and she has to because then i would get stuck with a $4,000 bill. So, she did show up to court and the judge asked her is she has a drug problem and she said "yes". The judge was not the type to have trust in junkies to show up to rehab on their own so he had her put in jail untill a bed is available in the rehab that she is court ordered to go to. I know that junkies dont quit unless they want to. i guess i never really cared untill i found out my sister is a junkie. I was so scared to get a phone call telling me she ODed off of some shit. I feel so bad my little sister is in jail but i think that its better than her being at her house shooting up with her piece of shit boyfriend she has. But now i just have to wait and see if she gets off drugs.
She now looks very pale and skinny as you can see here . I think it's so fucked up because she is so pretty and smart and could have done something good in her life but she rather kill herself by pumping that shit into her vain.

Me and my family is very heart broken about this and we hope she gets clean and stays clean.....

just be there for her and tell her how you feel

thats about all you can do

drugs are very powerful, more powerful then family and love at times it seems

Thats what i'm going to do but she doesnt want to talk to be because she feels like it's my fault she went to jail... those damn drugs are very powerfull.... i didnt know someone could be so blinded by them

Sorry to hear that and I hope that she can be cleaned up but like you said she has to really want it and right now it's not sounding like she is ready

[NaughtyRob]

Sad stuff man.

I will tell you a funny story to brighten your day..

A long time ago i had this friend , we were hanging at his place one day when he mentioned he used to have a sister but she turned into a junkie and ran away from home..

he showed me her room , and all her shit. Then he opened this wierd chinese box and pulled out this tinfoil ball and said " she left this huge ball of heroin here " and unwrapped it.. I picked up the ball and instantly recognized the brown hard goodness of lebanese hash haha i was like " you fool this isn't heroin this is hash " we smoked it all day in the park then sold some and split the rest ( it lasted a long time )

if it was heroin it would have been worth a ton , not that i would know who to sell it to but...


mmmm hash bangh . drools..

well.... i dont do drugs but i do smoke weed. And, i wouldn't mind a nice hit from that hash right about now. That was kind of a funny story. i just wish my sister did more hash instead of heroin...

[DarkJedi]

damn, she was born in 1985 ?

she looks 30 in the pic.

[L0rdJuni0r]

yes, i know. it breaks my heart. i wish she could see the "outside" picture. she is only 20 years old.

[iwantchixx]

unfortunately she wont kick her habbits until she really wants to. No judge enforced treatment will stick. She has to hit rock bottom first.

uhm... not be be mean on your day or sorrow but... weed is a drug.

[SmokeyTheBear]

heh possesion of methadone ,xanax , valiums and weed.. she sure likes her downers.. i think she is missing an upper in there...

But seriously.. go to her next court appearance , get her out of jail ASAP, she is likely doing more drugs in jail than out of jail.. whatever the case , jail can't do anything for her but cause her more grief and likely in the end cause her to do more drugs..

Whatever you do , get her out of jail and away from the court system.. THEN

go rent a cheap apartment, pref. far away from any downtown core..

Fill a room with bottled water and canned tunafish and shit.. board up the windows, invite her over , lock her in , dont let her out for anything for 30 days..

if she relapses , do it again but for 60 days.. keep adding 30 days everytime she relapses. Eventually she will quit.. most likely after the first or second time..

oh, she's been in rock bottom for a while now. i just hope that little time in jail will help her clear her mind and allow her to think normally for the first time in years. hopefully

[L0rdJuni0r]

uhm... not be be mean on your day or sorrow but... weed is a drug.

yes i know.... what i mean is the weed isnt mixed with different chemicals like coke, heroin, crack, pcp, lsd and all that other shit.... beer is worste then weed.

thanks for the link but that says about peaple with drinking problems.... my sister is using heroin and other downers....

[abetech]

Seems like the key to most rehabs is long term support. If her BF and friends are all junkies she might stay clean for a month at most after rehab. She needs to get out of that town and just start over.

[SmokeyTheBear]

She needs to get out of that town and just start over.

After doing the smokey method for 30-60 days first..

[baddog]

For once we agree. I saw the pic, then noticed the DOB and had to go back to look. You should hand her a mirror, because yeah, she could be hot if she was clean, but that is easier said than done.

I am readily familiar with the situation, and the odds are not in her favor. The problem is, it is such a good drug, and the shit they give you to help you quit just changes the addiction. For the rest of her life she will at least think about it once in a while.

Good luck, you both will need it.


BTW, bailing her out in the first place was above and beyond the call of duty. Let them O-R out. They don't want to keep their jails full of people awaiting trial. She would have been out in a day anyhow.

You watch way too much tv, or have some really fun jails.

[baddog]

Shit, I knew people that would have been turning themselves in if that was the case.

[baddog]

heh possesion of methadone

Makes me wonder if this is her first arrest or is it just really dry out there.

[Stacey_JoinRightNow]

Don't worry everything will be fine and alright, I believe that she had learned her lesson...And I know someday she could have a better life and better self...
Just don't leave her as well as your family...

[tristan_D]

it must have been very tough for you. just be there for her ok.

[PixeLs]

lol Your intuithion is working again man . ;)

I smoked more weed in jail than i do on the outside and there was more hard drugs than you can shake a stick at.( but i dont do those )

The guards would come in bitching all the time about the smell.

" fucking hippies, go outside and smoke that shit "

" its cold , fuck off. "

[cachondo]

oh god, your sister need help

[L0rdJuni0r]

Don't worry everything will be fine and alright, I believe that she had learned her lesson...And I know someday she could have a better life and better self...

Ofcourse we'll stick by her. We will never give up. hopefully she'll get clean and stay clean.

it must have been very tough for you. just be there for her ok....

It's more than very tough. it's 5:25am here and i still dont feel tired and cant sleep. And i'll always be there for her, whether she hates me or not.

oh god, your sister need help....

She is getting help. The court is sending her to DrugCorp. i hear its a good in-patient rehab. So i'll keep my fingers crossed.



Thanks everyone for your concern and kind words.

[reed_4]

Still show her the love she needs from a family.

With all due respect, you have obviously never dealt with a junkie before. You are so very naive.

[VideoJ]

Junior, sorry to hear your sister into that kind of shit. I always liked her and hate to see her go down that road. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[Joe Citizen]

uhm... not be be mean on your day or sorrow but... weed is a drug.

Caffiene is a drug too, genius.

[mardigras]

unfortunately she wont kick her habbits until she really wants to. No judge enforced treatment will stick. She has to hit rock bottom first.

Sadly, this is the fact

[mardigras]

With all due respect, you have obviously never dealt with a junkie before. You are so very naive.

Seriously. As someone who has dealt with a hardcore alcoholic I can tell you that jail, rehab, injuries, no memory of their actions and the affect they have on family means very little to them when they have nothing on their mind but that next bottle

[wjxxx]

It`s sad she is in jail. She didn`t anything wrong

[mortenb]

With all due respect, you have obviously never dealt with a junkie before. You are so very naive.

Baddog is right.. It won't solve itself.. She most likely has not learned any lesson yet.. Shooting up is not a habit you just put down from one moment to another..

sorry about your sister, hangin in there, hope she stays off that shit!

[Spunky]

A very sad situation..My ex was a junkie ,she smoked heroin.After countless times and 25 k to try and help her kick the shit,I gave up..she died a year after .

[sinmaster]

oh, she's been in rock bottom for a while now. i just hope that little time in jail will help her clear her mind and allow her to think normally for the first time in years. hopefully

I've had 3 close family members drop off into the world of Meth.
From what your saying she sounds like she is far from hitting rock bottom.
She still has a bf, a place to crash at and family support (money, food, rides etc..)
When a bunch of YOUR stuff comes up gone with no explinations and your bank account is empty from helping out with court costs and fines etc... then she will be getting close to hitting bottom.
As others have stated nothing can be done until SHE is ready to clean up.
While your looking out for her well being she is concerned with nothing but the next fix.
Cut her off, tell how much you care and that your not going to help until she's cleaned up.
Tough love, it sucks but sometimes thats what you have to do.

[Furious_Female]

I'm sorry for your family and her Whoever got her hooked on that shit should just die. Yeah, I assume someone encouraged it, because no one wakes up one day and decides, 'hey I'm gonna try some heroin via needle today!'

[Sosa]

hopefully she gets through it all.

[BVF]

She hooked HERSELF on that shit....I'm so fucking tired of people who blame everybody else BUT the woman for her problems...

If a man fucks up, it's his fault...If a woman fucks up, SOMEBODY ELSE made her get fucked up.

Please

if that works that is definately a step in the right direction as far as medications for those detoxing.

No kidding. If it was my sister I'd smack the fuck out of her and there would be hell to pay. Tough love is all you can give if they don't want to help themself.

[Rui]

She looks indeed very old in that pic, the drugs seem to had gotten her pretty bad.

Be strong and even if she doesn't want help her whenever you can.

Sorry to hear this mate.. she really looks like a junkie on this pic..
