[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 620375, member: 15801"] Thanks TiredMommy..... now I have to remember what I said! Kathy - this is so hard. The reality I have been realizing is there is not an end to this disease of addiction.... I think that is why they say relapse is part of the recovery process. Maybe recovery is not the right word because it implies "cured". But our addicts are always in the process of recovery I dont think they are ever recovered. So yeah giving up hope that this is the end of her addiction may be realistic. However it does not mean there is no hope.... we still have hope that they will get into recovery, stay in recovery and lead productive lives... and that if they relapse it will be shortlived. That is the hope I have for my difficult child. I think your daughter has made real progress and it sounds like she is taking some good steps herself to figure this out. One of the things I have realized this time around with my son in treatment, is this needs to be his journey of treatment. I am staying out of all the treatment stuff. I may ask a question here and there but I am not part of any of the decisions.... and he has not signed a release for me to get detailed information about what is going on and so I am not getting that information. I only get what he tells me and for once I am ok with this. They will call me if he leaves and that is and has to be enough. I have to let him have this as his journey and my being involved gets in the way. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
