[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 760451, member: 1233"] I am so sorry that you have to deal with all of this. You need to figure out a way to stop giving her things. Every penny that you give her is another penny of her own that is available for drugs. Addicts don't usually get better until they hit bottom and are so sick of the druggie life that they want to change. Until her life gets so uncomfortable that she wants to get better, she will continue to use. I strongly encourage you to do 30 in 30 with AlAnon Family Meetings or NarcAnon Family Meetings. 30 in 30 means going to 30 meetings in 30 days. You are encouraged to check out meetings in different locations and at different times so that you find a place and time and group that really clicks with you. Did you know that going to AlAnon meetings can significantly improve the chances of long term sobriety for the substance abuser in your life? If someone told you that going to 1 hour meetings a couple of times a week would improve your child's grades in school by 30%, would you go to the meetings? That could move his grades from 60% to 90%. All it takes is an hour a day at first and then an hour once or twice a week after that. Would you do it for your child? Guess what? If family members work the 12 step program for families, it increases the likelihood that your loved one will achieve long term sobriety. Isn't saving your child's life worth that? Most parents I know would jump at the chance to get help for their own enabling and codependent behavior. [/QUOTE]
