[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 625072, member: 1550"] PatriotsGirl, we didn't spend money on rehabs either. First of all, we didn't know how bad it was. Secondly, we couldn't have afforded one. Thirdly, she would never have worked the program even if I had been able to convince her father to pay. When she quit, she did it quietly and on her own and just like your daughter did. I'm almost convinced that this is how most quit. Of course, I have no stats to back up my beliefs though. My daughter moved to another state and didn't let anyone from here know where she was and we didn't tell anybody. And they sure wanted to know. Eventually, years after she was clean, she was contacted by a few on FB and all of them except one other female was still using, in and out of jail, on probation, many had kids from different people etc. She did not continue contact at all. She considers them losers.She calls her life "boring. I clean, work, cook for Geoff and wait for the baby to come." She doesn't have a lot of friends and lives a pretty quiet life. I do think different people find different methods that work. I also think it has to be their own timetables. There is no one answer for every addict. I do know we can't do it for them. [/QUOTE]
