[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 643083, member: 59"] I have seen many many people in recovery since my difficult child went to rehab. I have gone to many al-anon and open AA meetings and parent support groups. When a person is in recovery their recovery is the most important thing in their lives. They surround themselves with others in recovery and they work the program. I have also seen many who are not serious and they avoid the subject, talk arond recovery and make it seem a very minor issue. I knew my difficult child was not serious about recovery by the way others acted who were serious. There isn't much you can do, it's his recovery. I tried to make it mine in hopes that difficult child would follow, it didn't work. There is a cartoon going around the recovery group which highlights this very well, the mom is bringing folded laundry up to her son's room and on top is a book and stack of papers and she announces that she has completed several of his AA steps for him. I would have done my difficult child's steps for her if it meant she would follow through. [/QUOTE]
