[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 503893, member: 1514"] Im so sorry that you had to read that. I also wonder if it wasnt something she wrote to attempt to be cool to this guy. Honestly she has been doing so well but she also has this need to be accepted by guys. We both know they could be her downfall. Even if this was said as something to sound cool, this will be just a slippery slope because he obviously is not sober. I have read that people in AA get coins for so many months etc. Has she received one yet? I would think something like that would be a goal for her to count on and something that she could hold on to as a physical safety net to help keep her on the right path. If she hasnt got her coin yet, I might be tempted to do something for her yourself. Maybe a really cheap necklace you could make from beads at walmart and add one more each day for each day of sobriety for her. Something that rewards that one day at a time motto. They have some really cute gold, silver or even multi colored beads that she could pick out and you just add one each day on basically thick dental floss. Tie it off when it gets long enough. I dont know, I am just thinking out loud. I have no idea really but am reaching for something I think would help me to want to help me keep on track of something I wanted to keep doing. [/QUOTE]
