The Lost Child

Well...

My morphine addict was discharged from treatment 3 weeks ago. Apparently she was putting a lot of "hope" back into her family and friends.

And her status is "Program Incomplete."

Damnit.

She has since gone AWOL and hasn't contacted family or friends in 3 weeks.

Damnit.

She is a case where I can honestly say I did everything I could for her so she could help herself.

She continues to choose to stay sick. Its a cunning, powerful disease.

Sometimes this job really sucks....

Damnit.

  1. It is hard to watch people destroy themselves. In the end, it is up to them to admit the problem and choose to change. Good for you for trying to do what you can.
