[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 330018, member: 1157"] Many hugs to you. I can only imagine how devestating it must have been to your precious daughter in such a state. I would continue to tell her you love her, and will support her if she chooses to go to treatment, but I would suggest that you bite your tongue when it comes to advice re what specific treatment you think she needs. If she says she wants help to quit drinking, that's a start. Don't minimize the importance of that or suggest to her that it's not enough. If that's what will get her into a program, so be it. You don't care why or how she admits herself, you just care that she does it, period. For now, take care of YOU. It's all you can do. I agree with getting to Al-Anon or Nar-Anon. You need that support for yourself more than ever right now. [/QUOTE]
