I guess there is no easy way to say this so I will just tell it like it is. These prayers needed is for my friend Carrie. She called me tonight and she was so drunk, so incoherent, I couldn't understand her except for a few words here an there. What I got from this call was 1. She was drinking again after recovering in rehab 2. Her younger sister is dying from an aneurysm 3. She said she loves me and to remember that. I am just in a panic. She lives in N. California, her hubby has the function of a 4 year old due to being shot in the head 19 years ago. She is the one with the Huntington's Disease, although not symptomatic yet. She has 2 children..but they are still minors. I am concerned for her well being. There is no one that I know that lives near her to check on her. I think she needs help big time. I just want her to be okay.

CM, what a terrible worry this must be for you. Call her in the morning as soon as you can and see if you can get her to call her sponsor if she has one. I'll keep you both in my thoughts.

I thought of that..I am not sure if she is home to be honest..she calls me from her cell phone all the time and last week she was in Vegas so I never know...I don't think she would hurt herself but what point is the breaking point..
Thanks for the prayers everyone. I know she needs it. I am her "anchor" and I can't be there for her physically now and it kills me. We have been friends for 25 yearsPosted 7 months ago by cricketsmama #

CM, Sending prayers your friend finds the strength to get back on track. Good idea KK...try to call her sponsor if you can find out who it is, CM. Where is Carrie located in N. Calif..is she near a city?

CM, if you can't call her sponsor or a family member to check on her (don't worry about whether they live close or not, just phone anyone in the family, they can take it from there), I would quite honestly call the police, as Kilroy suggests, if she is not at home, I think they can track her whereabouts through her cellphone number and the calls she's made. This sounds serious to me -- it sounds like she might be saying goodbye to you and she has so many issues in her life right now. Even if she doesn't mean to hurt herself, anything could happen to her while she's so drunk.
I know I'm a worrywart and I hate to put this on you but better safe than sorry. I honestly would call the cops, or call a family member so they can call the cops.
Loads of love, and thoughts for your friend. {{{CM and Carrie}}}

honestly I have no idea what she did. She only admitted to me she's been drinking and she was so bad that she didn't even have to tell me that, I knew it.
She lives in North Fork SMM..I think it's around Fresno but not close to it...she lives in the boonies...Posted 7 months ago by cricketsmama #

I don't know who her sponsor would be. She went to a rehab in S. California then moved to another one..don't know which one..She was too embarrassed to tell me. She would call me to let me know how she was doing, that's it.

CM, I would also have to suggest calling the police, but if you know where she was staying in Vegas I can run down there and see if she is there and ok. Hotels aren't usually very forthcoming with information about guests but I know quite a few people here and can get things done when I need to.
-
Thank you Elm..that is very kind. I had no idea where she was staying in Vegas. I am assuming she is no longer there, but who knows.

I agree--call the police for a wellness check. Victor used to work on the Crisis Line and it was done all the time when necessary. The police don't mind-they would rather be called out before something tragic happens.

I agree with all the above suggestions, especially since I got one while I was off for surgery. I agree too, they would rather prevent a tragedy before it happens. I wish there was a TDK'er near her that knew what services were available in her area to help her. I am sending loads of TDK white lite and prayers to you! God Bless Carrie!

CM, I am wondering if you should call Child Protective Services. She has children who are minors. CPS can step in and then call in the appropriate agencies to deal with the other issues.

CM your friend is in my prayers. I can relate a lot; my dad went through a lot in his life and was an alcoholic and then some pretty much my entire life growing up so I understand all the fear and worry that you feel for both her and her family. I know it is hard. I agree with others; maybe try a wellness check if you think she may be at her home? If she is not at her home and her husband is not mentally capable and her children are minors; who are watching them? I'd call in a wellness check even if you think she isn't there, just to make sure the kids aren't alone and that they are okay too. Update us when you get the chance. Hugs!!

Thank you all. KW, thank you for finding the sheriff info as well. I was looking last night and really wasn't sure which one would be the one and they all seemed to far.
I didn't call the sheriff..I do plan to call her later and see what the heck is going on. The kids would be okay, they are 16 and 14 so when I said minors, I apologize, they are minors but I didn't mean young like my kids. They all live with a man who helps with John and is in a relationship with Carrie..it's a destructive relationship but it is what it is...long story.
When the kids go down for their nap this afternoon, I plan to call her, hopefully she will be awake and coherent..it should be mid morning there..Thanks again everyone. Hugs to allPosted 6 months ago by cricketsmama #

CM, I'm very sorry to hear about your friend and her struggles. With all she faces in life it is easy to understand how she could easily step back into self destructive behavior. Have you heard from her?? Do you know for sure where she is at?? Try calling her, and if you still feel there is immedate danger and don't know her location, call her local PD and give them her cell #. Cell phones have gps and they will locate them if it's a matter of life or death.
-
So sorry to hear about your friend. Please let us know what you find out this afternoon. I have prayed for her.
