Keep praying Mary. I'll keep praying too. It's hard with addiction because a lot of the time they want to quit but don't know how because their body physically needs it now. But if her desire to quit is still the same, which I'm sure it is, keep praying and keep trying to visit her when you can. Many people in my family have dealt with addiction (my parents up until we were young kids, my aunt, my husband, a few cousins, and some friends) so I know first hand how hard this is. But don't stop visiting or talking to her. The most important thing is that they know someone loves them and cares and will be waiting for them when they're ready to get clean. We have had moments of cutting some people off because they only wanted us to support their habit in direct or indirect ways but if she isn't asking you to do that then occasional contact with her is good. I'll be praying for God's Wisdom and Guidance to be made clear to you in this situation.

Thank you Marissa!!
I'm getting ready to go over there now.
She wants me to buy her cigs & take her to laundry mat but I think I have to tell her no unless she will call the rehab & set up a appointment.

Hey Mary. I hope you were able to see your sister. She is still in my prayers. I know it is difficult and you don't want to do too much without seeing any results, but remember to trust that God is going to take control of this. You don't need to give her conditions in order to do things for her - just be loving and kind. She will see the light in you and want that. I am praying for strength for you too. This is a very difficult situation and I know one day she will look back on this and praise God for you and thank you for all your love and sacrifices.

How did the visit with your sister go Mary? I know it's a delicate thing to go through and balance. Figuring out how to help her without becoming an enabler. If you get a chance that book Boundaries I suggested is perfect for that. Myself and my husband's parents read it when he was in the program. It does help. I hope it went well and I'm praying she stays clean.
