AMEN!!I hope that if Beau has relapsed and is feeling ashamed, he knows that no one that matters will judge him. I'm certain that his friends only want to find him safe, and that no matter what has happened he's a valuable person who deserves support and love.
I respectfully disagree.I don’t think Beau would be ashamed of relapsing…he built a business out of helping people in recovery.
It’s rather judgmental to assume he would be embarrassed.
I wish we had more info on the 911 text. From comments from his friends and family, it sounds like he texted to 911, but did not respond to LE’s attempts to respond.
My comment is from many, many years of personal experience. Of course most addicts feel bad because they’ve hurt those they love and let people down. Addiction is not something to be ashamed of. There’s a difference.I respectfully disagree.
My husband is going on 7 years of sobriety, after 35 years of being in an active addictions), but in his first 2 years he relapsed twice. I know that he felt incredibly ashamed and felt as though he lets many, many people down.
In his first 5 years of sobriety he attended Celebrate Recovery, participated in two CR step studies (which is a 12 step program that is biblically-based) as well as volunteered in our community, feeding the homeless on a weekly basis, and sharing his testimony with A LOT of people who were still active in their additions.
moo.
I disagree, This man has built an Empire and now if he were to relapse would seem like he failed which he didn't. Praying for him. This is exactly what his program is for. IMOI don’t think Beau would be ashamed of relapsing…he built a business out of helping people in recovery.

His 30 days in rehab would be over by now if he had gone to rehab.So, are we thinking he check ed himself into a rehab facility, or do we think he harmed himself? Seriously, where is this thread headed?
Thats amazing. Thank you for sharing! Good job to ya both and continued prayers.I respectfully disagree.

Sadly, I think Beau relapsed. His friends and family may have seen it coming, which is why they waited a while before making the news of his disappearance public. They were probably expecting him to resurface in a week or two, as often happens when someone relapses or goes out on a binge. With no sign of him for a few weeks, they realized that this was more than a “binge”.So, are we thinking he check ed himself into a rehab facility, or do we think he harmed himself? Seriously, where is this thread headed?
Would the rehab facilities give that info to the police as he is an adult?Maybe I over-expect from LE, but if he was in rehab, wouldn't they be able to locate him? I don't think he self-harmed, but if he relapsed, often addicts don't realize they can't go right back to the high doses they used to take and so the accidentally od. Happened to my cousin.
I don't know what to think. So many possibilities come to mind and we don't have enough solid info to sort them out.So, are we thinking he check ed himself into a rehab facility, or do we think he harmed himself? Seriously, where is this thread headed?
But if he od-d then why text 911 from an Uber? Surely the Uber must know? If he overdosed in an Uber the driver would’ve taken him to the hospital.Nice list @katydid23. I'm leaning toward f.) he didn't relapse but was a crime victim. I base this on the 911 text. He knew he was in danger, but couldn't voice the call without alerting the perpetrator. Also, why text 911 if you are on a bender or headed to rehab? What crime was committed, I'm not sure. Robbery and homicide (most likely), kidnapping/ abduction (for what purpose? Is he still being held?).
Agreed. It happens like that a lot.Maybe I over-expect from LE, but if he was in rehab, wouldn't they be able to locate him? I don't think he self-harmed, but if he relapsed, often addicts don't realize they can't go right back to the high doses they used to take and so the accidentally od. Happened to my cousin.
