[QUOTE="katya02, post: 397073, member: 2884"] I agree. Triggers are extremely strong - just the smell, or sound of a bottle being opened, or the sight can do it. If your difficult child managed last night despite all that stimulus, she deserves major congratulations. Trouble is, she'll now be more at risk in the coming days due to that exposure last night. We went through this at the beginning of recognizing our difficult child 1's addiction. Even during the beginning of his outpatient rehab, husband didn't think we ought to get rid of everything in the house and that we ought to be able to 'have something' when difficult child 1 was living there. His reasoning was that, at different times in life, difficult child 1 would have to be around people who would be drinking, usually socially but sometimes in connection with a job, etc. With the education provided to families in the outpatient program, husband changed his attitude. Triggers are intense and can prompt a relapse even days later, and someone with the disease of addiction should not have to face them within the shelter of family. I'm sorry your father didn't understand that and your sister didn't appreciate the seriousness of the issue. They may just not understand, but I hope they'll listen to you regarding the life-or-death gravity of deliberately exposing your difficult child to alcohol. I'm so sorry. [/QUOTE]
