Hello brothers and sisters,
I am coming to you because I have an urgent request for a friend very close to my heart. She entered rehab a little over a week ago and made the impulsive decision to leave. I myself am in recovery and have been begging her months to come back to CA to get treatment.
She came to me last night and I of course did my best to convince her to turn right around and go back. She had thought she had found an alternate sober living community, but that has fallen through. She has a found a sober living with an intensive outpatient program in a different county where she will be heading tomorrow. Obviously she is scared, she feels ashamed of the impulsive decision and is suffering the consequences. But she has stayed sober so far. Although I worry, because she is making a lot of spontaneous decisions at the moment.
She is very scared, but as I just spoke with her on the phone I told her this is the part where she has to hold on and be strong. Please pray that God gives her strength, that he gives her direction, that he gives her peace, and above all that he reveals himself to her. And of course that she stays sober.
