[QUOTE="KFld, post: 21706, member: 2442"] Hi and welcome. I am the mother of a 20 year old son, currently in recovery. He is a heroin addict and the last 1 1/2 have been very difficult. Your daughter has to want to help herself and in the end, no matter how much we try, there isn't much we can do until they are ready. My son has been in and out of rehabs many times over the last year and is currently living in a soberhouse and seems to be serious about staying clean. He didn't get that way until I detatched and had to throw him out of our house and allow him to hit bottom and see what it was like to fend for himself. Right now he is almost 5 months clean, working and doing well. I hope you daughter gets into the next 90 day program and sticks with it. It's so hard to watch them relapse when they get some time behind them. As far as you letting her live home until she gets into the program, you have to follow your heart. Please keep us posted and welcome to our site. The weekends can be a little slow, but more people who have been in your situation will be around during the week. There are a lot of good people here who can fill you in on what has worked for them, and what hasn't. As I said above though, you have to follow your heart. What works for one, doesn't always work for another. Hope to see more of you here. [/QUOTE]
