[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 405304"] Nancy - Sounds like a good plan. You are doing what you can and really the rest is up to her. She has to hit bottom (again) on her own and realize she needs real help, not just rescuing from a particular spot she got herself into. It is heartbreaking to be a parent and watch your child do this self destructive stuff. Through my work I have met a number of women, who at one time were serious addicts, and got themselves clean. I don't meet them during the time while they are using but I do sometimes get to know them later on and I hear their stories. It gives me faith that even serious addicts, with many relapses, can get clean and sober if they really want to. So I have faith that your daughter has experiences small periods of sobriety and has a supportive family, that eventually she will do the work she needs to do to get clean. however she needs to be doing it for herself, not just as a way to get what she wants from you.
