[QUOTE="DDD, post: 398360, member: 35"] Sending caring thoughts your way. Have you and husband thought about trying a written contract at this juncture? It might be the right time to record the daily expectations, the choice of treatment options she has and the bottom line for failure to comply. I'm sure she'll want to get a job pronto. That sounds like a good "work ethic" but in fact it diverts her attention from the main problem [B]and [/B]provides her with spending money and freedome to socialize. Obviously I don't know your daughter but I know addiction. :sigh: She seems to use "work" as a way to avoid making commitments needed for her future. It also gives her access to wheels...temptation and role playing. What about X hours of school on line, X number of AA meetings or outpatient treatment (as I recall inpatient is out of the question) and only home entertainment in addition to set daily household chores, three square at home etc.?? Don't know if I'm on track but that's what comes to mind this morning.The elimination of phone use might not be bad either. I do think that now is the time for a line drawn in the sand with concrete reenforcements. For her sake and for yours. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
