[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 412410, member: 1991"] Making your home alcohol-free is not the solution. it is just the start. it would mean tat any alcohol you find in the place has been brought in by her or her friends. it would make it easier to keep track of it and it would also show that YOU are making the effort to reduce temptation. But this has to come down to her. First she has to recognise she has a problem, and then she has to deal with it. This is not your fault. It is a combination of genetics and social pressure. We do the best we can with our kids, and past a certain point their peers become more important as role models, than parents. All we can do is hope that when our kids reach that point we have done enough as parents to help them slide through. Go check out Al-Anon. I sense you are in danger of falling into a co-dependency trap and possibly even enabling her (or husband enabling her) unwittingly. Al-Anon can help. You did not abandon your child, but right now you are needing help from others. You can't do this for her and you can't do this alone. Time to call for the fire brigade... metaphorically speaking.
