[QUOTE="Gone, post: 641534"] LOL your last sentence made me LAUGH , but oh how accurate it is! It is the same with alcoholism , just because my difficult child is not drinking at this moment in time it does not mean the problem has ''gone away'' and I suspect she was drinking last week after a few weeks of not drinking , it doesn't just go away and the behaviour with it , there is also a ''dry drunk'' whose mindset and behaviour etc is still that of an alcoholic even if they are not picking up a drink at that moment in time but the possibility of drinking again is ALWAYS there Fully clean for life and addressing the issues which caused the problem in the first place and full abstainance is the only way , hard to do , but possible thankfully It does take time though , no magic wand , no overnight thing as such , it is a PATH of recovery but at least once ON that path even if a couple of falling off the paths along the way but getting straight back on then a good life is possible but they have to be out of that ''cycle'' of abuse / addiction which means they don't touch the stuff at all as a 'relapse' is different to a 'continuing cycle with little breaks in between' What annoys me is my difficult child says she is ''in recovery'' as she has managed to not drink for a while but then goes back on it and lies about it , it is the lies and deception and denial I can't take , there is no real honesty in it and she is still in the cycle rather than in recovery , the real recovery has not even begun yet!!
