[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 552462, member: 59"] It seems like it's a bit like splitting hairs, addiction/problem. When does the problem become serious enough to be an addiction and if the person can control their drinking why is it a problem? I don't have the answers, just talking out loud. MWM I agree with everything you said, it's my belief also. difficult child cannot moderate herself when she starts to drink. She told people that when she was 15 so that shows you she already knew she was addicted. I'm wondering what role her BM played in al this because she knows her bm is an alcoholic who is still actively drinking and I can't help but wonder if she was trying to prove she was just like her. And I don't care how difficult child gets sober, program, no program, AA, whatever, just that she finally realizes she has a problem and wants to fix it. I think that those who quit on their own have the best success rate. I'm not sure it's most common but I think it has the best chance of sticking. But getting back to TL's original question, I still haven't heard anything concrete about any other program that works. It's almoast like the nuts and bolts of the program is a secret. My difficult child has been through years of talking therapy, including cognitive behavioral and DBT. If none of that helped I have a hard time believing how any other type of talking therapy will work any better for her. Nancy [/QUOTE]
