[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 673133, member: 1967"] TL, I totally understand where you are coming from and everyone has to do what is right for them at that time. One thing to consider, though. My daughter used rehab/IOP as a way to get room and board. She would go from one to another and kept saying that we should "help" her since she was "doing the right thing." My therapist wisely pointed out that this could be my daughter's path the rest of her life and asked did we want to continue supporting her the rest of her life. As the therapist pointed out, doing the right thing is using the tools learned in rehab the first, second, or even third time to get sober and live a functional life which is not dependent on others taking care of you. Here is a story that is funny but true. When I was checking out the TV guide listings one night, I saw a program called Rehab Addict. I turned it on thinking it was about people that go from rehab to rehab. I found out it was actually about rehabbing old homes. :hammer: ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
