[QUOTE="DDD, post: 396707, member: 35"] Does she have an AA sponsor? One who has traveled the alcohol road toward destruction is far more qualified to deal with her addiction issues. I remember very clearly (amazing because it has been over sixty years ago, lol) my Dad getting phone calls in the middle of the night, getting dressed, often taking an AA friend along, and going to spend time with the person who had fallen off the wagon. The family can do all they can but working "the steps" is, in my humble opinion, best left to the sponsor. Those with impulse control issues have such a difficult time self-regulating. All the family love and support just can't make an addict "see the light"....we are coming from a different place. I wish you well. I also agree that ADHD medications are not as prescribed. A psychiatrist with addictions experience would be more qualified to choose medication. Sometimes popping a pill just opens the door to another variety of problems. Sending caring thoughts your way.
