[QUOTE="KFld, post: 25102, member: 2442"] I think it's a good sign that she is the one calling everyday to find placement and she is going to meetings. Shows that she is ready for help. If you were the one doing it all while she was sleeping all day, that would be a different story. I always say, you have to follow your heart when making decisions. Yes, sometimes it goes against the advice of others who have been there done that, but it doesn't mean it's wrong. I pray your daughter gets into a program soon. My difficult child is a recovering heroin addict, 5 months clean last week. He went from rehab to a soberhouse and he knows he does not ever have the option of living home again, as it would be going backwards for him. He has come much too far for that and more then anything, it has taught him independence that I never thought he would learn. There is hope for addicts when they are ready. You should push for your daughter to get into a soberhouse for quite awhile after rehab. They really need to live the program for a long time, I have learned, for them to remain clean and learn how to live a normal healthy life. There is so much more to it then just not doing the drugs, it's a whole knew life! [/QUOTE]
