[QUOTE="witzend, post: 166951, member: 99"] So, I guess what we're all saying is that only Susan's difficult child can quit drugs, and nothing Susan does will make it happen faster or slower. Right? Susan, you wrote about making a wonderful speech about everything we taught you about detaching at your Al Anon meeting the other night. Three minutes later, you posted this thread wondering whether you should have tried intervention. It feels as though you have no positive thoughts of your own, ever - as though all of your thoughts are worries about someone else that you can't change. You're clearly not happy. We all want you to be happy. I challenge you to write one post a day on the Watercooler about something that has nothing to do with worrying about any of your kids, or worrying about worrying about (or feeling guilty about) any of your kids. Something nice. It doesn't have to be a new thread, but that would be good too. Each day though, write it on a new thread so that it will actually be a new thought. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel if just once a day you verbalize something that is nice every day. I'll pray for you. [/QUOTE]
