[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 752319, member: 24254"] Thinking about being totally sober probably scares your daughter a lot! It sounds to me that things are unraveling for her - loss of job, mental hospital, doesn't have custody of her child. Alcoholics and addicts have to come to the end of themselves. She may be headed there now. Her vow to not drink for 2 weeks is an admission of sorts that she thinks she may have a problem. In AA we talk about one day at a time. And this is for God reason: nobody can contemplate staying sober for longer than that, especially newcomers . The bed thing to do is to allow things to unravel for her. The more consequences she experiences as a result of her drinking/using, the more of a chance that she will want to change. I would say very little if anything . Stay out of God's way. Don't prevent a crisis but also don't create one is what we say in Al-Anon. Keep praying for her to find recovery. [/QUOTE]
