But we get a lot of calls asking for help and we try and help everyone by referring them to local therapists or to the new AA groups that are being set up around the country.” Castle Craig’s new Romanian website Rupert Wolfe Murray, Castle Craig’s representative in Central and Eastern Europe, says “most people in Romania can’t afford private health care treatment in Western Europe. Unfortunately Legal Highs are also the most dangerous drugs on the market, and medics complain that they have no idea what they contain. By far the most popular drugs are Legal Highs (Romanians call them “etnobotanice”). Heroin is the drug of choice for the poorest-of-the-poor in Bucharest, Romania’s capital city of two million souls, and alcoholism is common in the villages where more than a third of the population lives in poverty. Cocaine is rare and cannabis is used less frequently than in Western Europe. The patterns of addiction are very different in Romania as compared to the UK. Few people in Romania are aware of the fact that addiction is a disease and that there exists treatment programmes that do actually work. Romania is one of the poorest members of the European Union and there is a comprehensive lack of awareness of addiction treatment, as well as high levels of stigma against alcoholics and drug addicts. I'm sure that whatever happens is all in God's plan for all of us.Castle Craig Hospital recently launched a new website in the Romanian language: Alcohol & drug addiction in Romania In the meantime, we will just have to see how all of these emotions and doubts pan out. However, I am very proud that you made the decision to seek help. I haven't given up hope for you, but I'm on the brink. It is my vow to handle all of the complicated mess in my head, while running our home by myself. Complicated? Of course! I pray that you stay in treatment and focus on YOU and the help you need. But that doesn't mean I love you any less. I will do everything to protect him from continuing to witness your addiction and self destruction. I've got him to think about first and foremost, which only clouds my over-emotioned brain and heart. I have removed your pictures from our home and now my precious 2 year old son no longer asks where you are. Do I even want to put my energy into this? Am I willing to completely rearrange my life just to make your daily struggle easier? My first instinct is HELL NO! But in the last few weeks I've prayed about this and God has instructed me to be still. I also pray that these emotions I'm experiencing will soon make sense. While I hope and pray that you are able to focus and work hard on getting better, I also pray that I am able to support you how you need to be supported. One way different from any help you've ever received. You are loved! And I am loved by you way more than anyone has ever dared to love me. I can't say enough good things about you. ![]() I tried harder than you! I tried because I know your love for me and my son is so strong and when you are home/sober, you are the most amazing man. And while that didn't work, I don't regret it, because I did try. Makes no sense to me, being that you continuously let me down. ![]() Making sacrifices to not see my friends, who have always been by my side and NEVER let me down. I slowly changed myself because of this worry. The next time me and my son would endure the pain of you being in such a dangerous place and not at home with your family. It was always in the back of my head wondering when the next time would be. I do realize that, in some twisted way, I've become an enabler by allowing you to continue coming home after you every few months binges in which you would leave home for about a week at a time. Even on the levels I never imagined or thought. I also married you understanding that it's a daily struggle for the rest of our lives. I married you thinking the love from me and my son would somehow magically fix you. I understand you've battled and fought this horrible addiction for many years.
