[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 355985, member: 84"] I agree with Witz. The option of having her go to detox to stay sounds good. BUT it is not going to work unless she is the one who thinks she has the addiction and wants to be clean. Period. It blows wind really bad, but that's the bare and simple fact. Me personally? I'd set a deadline that I felt was reasonable, tell her it's time to grow up and move out of the nest, and follow through when the deadline was reached even if she made no motions toward moving out. Then I'd get my fanny to every al anon meeting I could attend, cuz it's going to be hard learning not to enable because what we (unaddictive people) think of as simple gestures of kindness, usually are enabling behaviors to someone who has an addiction. And of course hang out here cuz we got big shoulders and Dumbo size ears and will always be here for you. Hugs [/QUOTE]
