[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 561793, member: 13558"] Sadly, I know of an addict in recovery for 10 years and relapsed. Like others have said, it just seems to be part of the process. I think the fact that she is still there shows that she is trying to take responsibilty for her actions. GOOD FOR HER!!! Years ago we went out after work for something to celebrate, one of the ladies was trying to stop drinking. I would not have called her an alcoholic, but she did pass out in a bathroom at a friend's party. Most of the group kept urging her to have a drink saying just one won't hurt you. Well, she got drunk! It is amazing to me that she even went to the bar if she wasn't going to drink - and these were her friends getting her drunk! I was another that had a very difficult time with cigarettes, and I had to completely stay away from my smoking friends. It was so hard for me, I dreamed about smoking, and just smelling the smoke would start cravings. I was very addicted and for at least one year or more I was not sure if I could stop, today I am not tempted at all. Take care of yourself, in my opinion she's trying really hard. It IS hard!
