[QUOTE="klmno, post: 383213, member: 3699"] Young peoples' meetings should be a great avenue for her to re-enter a social life without the old habits. As far as meeting times- some areas have lunchtime meetings at noon once or twwice a week but this might not be available or appropriate for her. I really like the idea of younger people having meetings sometimes as long as she's still in touch with other things, just in case one of the younger ones doesn't start steering the other ones away. As far as her intentions- honestly I think you have every reason to believe she is making the best effort she can. While I understand and think it's a good idea to stay cautious, based on my experience and knowing others going thru this- she is nmaking a real effort and deserves many, many kudos! Really! I think she needs realistic support right now, in my humble opinion, not doubt and not unrealistic expectations. She's trying to take it a day at a time and she's doing it. Every day she does that and gets support reinforces her ability to make it another day. And that gives her strength so when the day comes that it's really hard, she can get thru it or if she doesn't, she knows she can go back, take responsibility, and keep trying to go forward. If she ever viewed it as a failure, it would probably be over. There's a fine line- I know. [/QUOTE]
