[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 447144"] Welcome! My daughter is a drug addict. Of course, she doesn't think she is, but she is. The last instance I found a meth laden pipe in her room. We had to give her the ultimatum of going to rehab if she wanted to continue living in our home. She refused. I couldn't allow her to continue living there because all she was doing was going out to party for days on end and only coming to our home to crash, eat and sleep. She had no future, no dreams, no ambition. I am positive if she were still living there we would still be fighting this battle if she was still alive and the rest of the family would continue to suffer. I still offer rehab and sober living. All the time. I make sure she knows that we love her and are willing to help her when she is finally ready. She is still not ready. Now, I have given her food, and I am buying her shoes but I will not give her cash. I make sure she knows their are options to how she is living. Unfortunately, you cannot force some one to be sober. They have to [I]want [/I]to be. They have to hit bottom and mine has not reached it yet. Not enabling means not preventing them from hitting that bottom. As long as life is comfortable, there is no reason for them to stop. I highly suggest Alanon. It is a fine and tricky line detaching with love... [/QUOTE]
