In reply to I called DARS and this is whats going on, posted by rjlockhart04-08 on October 3, 2011, at 14:39:30
It sounds like your mom is really codependent. She seem really caught up in your behavior. If she doesn't see the value in you being able to have your own apartment, a job and even see your doctor alone then she is a bit misguided. I would keep this appointment with DARS. I would tell them you are involved in 12 steps and staying clean. Then try and move somewhere where you can walk to a job. Your NA friends will give you rides to meetings. Let your mom have your car. If you want to survive on your own you have to accept that she may not like that and withdraw support like a car or money. You have to be willing to do what it takes if you really want to go off on your own.
This will not change the fact that you are prone to stimulant abuse and continue to seek them. Maybe DARS could hook you up with a doctor who is a little more creative than your current pdoc. There has to be a way to feel good without stimulants. Wouldn't that be progress?
