[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 495605, member: 59"] I don't believe that true addiction comes right before liver damage(if that's the case my 92 year old father who has been drinking heavily for over 78 years and very very addicted wouldn't be alive right now). I don't think any of the substance abuse treatment enters would agree with that either, but none of that matters. What's important here is that our difficult child's are abusing drugs/alcohol. Whatever we want to call it, drugs and/or alcohol are causing problems in their lives and in the lives of their loved ones. And they are having a very difficult time abstaining from those drugs/alcohol, so there has to be something that draws them to it in the face of overwhelming problems it causes. Nancy [/QUOTE]
