[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 553830, member: 59"] I couldn't agree more. It just points out what we were trying to say a couple weeks ago in discussions about different programs. There is no use in putting down one program or building up one program over another because in all the addict I know the only ones who are successful are the ones who have a desire to change, the ones who don't want to continue in the misery they are in. I believe whatever program those people choose will help them recover, but it is not because of the program, it is because of the person. This worries the heck out of me because it comes back to resilience and I have long ago acknowledged that my difficult child does not have resilience. She doesn't have and never has had the determination to do anything with her life that has to do with moving ahead and following society rules and taking responsibility. So when people tell me that she may mature I find it very hard to believe. Perhaps when she is in the 30's she may decide to do differently but I honestly don't see it happening. She is digging a deeper hole for herself every day in terms of her future. She doesn't have grit Know what I mean?. Nancy [/QUOTE]
