Today I called my friend who is sharing part of her detoxing journey as the majority of my audio. When she answered the phone, I could tell that she felt horrible. Her voice seemed to be just hanging on a thread. Today was day three with no opiates in her system. She expressed hope that she would get through this, but to be honest the strain on her voice alarmed me. She sounded so limp. I had called in hopes of rerecording some of the audio that I was not able to filter, but it felt really wrong to even suggest such a thing. She seemed to need my full attention today, as she expressed some distress with some other situations that are interconnected to her addiction. I so hope that one day she will be able to shake this and be happy and healthy, sounds straightforward, but somehow SO not.
