[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 371059"] Oh Nancy I am so sorry. Probably not surprising she went out and got drunk again. And she may have meant what she told you when she said it, but she clearly is addicted to alcohol. At least 30 days will give you and your husband a chance to have some rest and think through what your next steps are... and it will give her a chance to be sober for more than a day and hopefully also think through what her next steps are. I think when she is done with the program you should probably set some very clear guidelines for her to be able to live at home and if she breaks them she needs to leave. Even if she doesn't know where she will go. I know this is a devastating thing to do as a parent.... but really she needs to hit bottom and want help and the sooner that happens the better. It wont happen if she keeps living at home and doing all this stuff..... I went on line today and looked up stuff on detaching with love. It was very helpful. I will try and find the link of the article I was reading and post it. [/QUOTE]
