[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 739763, member: 15032"] Someone reminded me the other day that there is a difference between "being sober" and "working on ones recovery". That is very true. Working on your recovery takes a big commitment from the addict. It's not something WE can control. Let's face it, we wouldn't be here if we could! We probably wouldn't even need to be here if they would LISTEN to our advice or follow one thing we suggested. I think that partially they WANT to be sober but it's just too hard and they want to please us and they know that "sober" is a magic word for us. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. Two cliche's but they are correct. [/QUOTE]
