[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 370772"] We learned in my SA class that the bottom line is the substance abuser has to make a personal decision for change. Sometimes, it seems, it takes spiritual strength for this to happen. Others, for whatever reason...at some point....get to that point by digging down deep and make that personal choice/decision to reach out for change and literally make the change. Pr0fessionals can only guide them...help to point out the destruction/inconsistencies, etc. But the individual themselves has to weigh the pros and cons...has to reach out....has to do the work. Honestly, I believe if we do toooooo much work, this is never going to happen. It's a hard call....we want to make help always available....but understand that the desire/work/effort....is not on us...its on them. And by allowing that....we learn too. I pray that she sticks with this program, that she learns from it and makes a personal decision to move forward with her life in a healthy manner. Family therapy is not a bad idea...even for just you and husband. [/QUOTE]
