Hello. I'm new, obviously. My name is Rhiana, and my sister (not by blood, but I've known her 7 years) told me last week that she's been a daily opioid user for the last 11 years. It honestly came as a shock to me. I had seen the occasional thing that had me concerned, but never enough to think she was in as deep as she is. She's been clean for a little over 2 weeks, and I'm so proud of her. But, at the same time, I'm struggling. I feel guilty and stupid for not putting it together. I don't feel as betrayed as I know most people do. I don't know why. Basically, I'm having a hard time putting my own emotions in order as I try to help her stay strong. And I feel like talking to her about too much of what I'm feeling at this point may set her back. Not that I never will, but that right now isn't the time. I need help. I'm a strong person, but I can't carry all this weight without some help. That's why I'm here. I hope to gain some insight from you guys, and maybe down the road I will be able to help someone, too.
