we just found out that my half sister is on crystal meth from her ex-husband. she came to his house and asked for help because her boyfriend had been beating her. he called my mom who lives in texas(they live in hawaii) and she is flipped out telling her to go to a rehab place. I keep telling her to get her out to our house(I just graduated) so she can get help, but my mom thinks she needs to stay on the island untill she goes to rehab. the only problem is her ex husband and son cannot get her to go to a rehab center or doctor. and every time she tries to go there she runs off with a friend to get high.
everyone on the island is mad at her bacause she turned her boyfriend in at the hospital when he beat her really bad.
she wants to come to texas but doesnt want to be told she needs help.
what should I do?
please help me?

My opinion is she needs to get far away from any guy that beats her.Meth is the devil, she needs to leave that shit alone !!! Good Luck

yeah It is
thanks!
how hard will it be for her to get off that stuff??

It sounds like it's got her, bad. I really wish I had some encouraging words for you on that. She will never get help, and any help forced on her is wasted, until SHE gets tired enough of the shit to change it HERSELF. I know you love her dearly, and I am very sorry that you're having to go through this.

My own experience with it was that for me it wasn't hard to get "off" it at all. I could feel it killing my body, it FELT like I was taking poison. So, add that to a non-addictive personality and I just quit (never used that much in the first place). But I've known a LOT of people who got hooked, bad. I won't go into the details of what happened in and with their lives, but will just reiterate my point, which is that it won't change until she makes it change. You can never change anyone except yourself.

well the number one thing about an addict (as a former addict myself, but never to meth which can be much worse) is that you cant help someone that doesnt want help. the best thing you can do is really be a positive role model. if she comes to texas just be a friend. ask her about her addiction. why she started? why she does it? ask if she sees the bad sides to meth? just really get into a heart to heart (without bringing up rehab at first) and try and let her know that you're there for her if she needs to talk.

after that maybe on another heart to heart you could begin talking about it again just casually and then say "if you see the negative effects how come you dont want to consider rehab. if you want I'll go to some NA meetings with you. just wanted to let you know Im willing to go with you whenever I can."

typically if you throw out that youll go to meetings with the person they are more willing to attend them. they feel less intimidated and scared by the entire thing.

eventually if she can stay sober long enough she'll start to realize she does need help and eventually she will ask for it.

either way get her away from that guy!! far away!

i was a 6 year intravenous meth user and i can tell you from experience that you cannot force her to go to rehab she will just come out and get high again i hate to break the news to you but the ONLY!! way she will stop s when SHE!! is ready i know it sucks for you guys but you wont do anything good by trying to force her to quit you will only push her away

on a side note if she does decide to quit NA is a cult thaty will tell her not to smoke weed and weed will help her quit more than anything

that sucks that your sister or whoever yoiu said is on meth but seriously there isnt anything you can do

Exactly what I was going to say. Your never going to get away from crystal meth in Hawaii. Its everywhere. It's actually getting out of control there, badly.

come on fdd meth is everywhere you can make it in your bathroom

it's a MAJOR problem in hawaii right now. lots of ICE. they don't have a lot to do or anywhere to go. Hawaii Has Huge Meth Mess, Methamphetamine Use Reaches Epidemic Proportions In Aloha State - CBS News
