[QUOTE="klmno, post: 377974, member: 3699"] That's good to hear, Nancy. It sounds like she is in a good prgram. I went thru one in my early 20's for substance abuse and there were some people who "flew thru the steps"- who knows if the motivation was to prove they were "cured" so they could go right back to doing what they had been or if they were just compulsively trying to get thru them, unaware that you won't get the full effect that way. And then well-meaning but unknowing people outside the program would sometimes try to rush people to thru the program or say things like "well, you've been doing very well so I don't think you need to stick to all the program's recommendations". The biggest one in that area was to "make no major changes for one year". People would see me doing well and think that I was reluctant to change anything else because of anxiety or just having an excuse not to. I stuck to the recommendations of the program and my therapist and never went back to drugs. I still have other issues- especially lately- but drugs aren't one of them, TG! I wish the same or better success for your difficult child. She is very lucky to have your support thru this. [/QUOTE]
