[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 746929, member: 1967"] There is such a thing as a dry drunk. That is a person who is sober but still demonstrates addict behavior. Your daughter has to want to change. Recovery is about making those changes . . . not just staying sober. The twelve steps are a guideline to changing one's lifestyle and behaviors. Accountability and making amends is part of the twelve steps. My daughter claimed to be sober many times but it wasn't until she worked through the twelve steps that her behavior changed. She became a new person. Or maybe I should say she became the person that she was before her addiction stole her away from us. Until you see your daughter working at becoming a better person. you need to protect yourself. Sober or not, she is still exhibiting harmful behaviors towards herself and others. I'm sorry that you are still going through this. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
