Thanks, I think I am going to bed, it has been a long day. Will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings but she is fading.. You, keep doing what you have been doing..

Makes sense to me.

Touch & go, it is what it is............

I THINK I'll do a gratitude list tonight.

TODAY??????????????????

Is there a time when it is all you can do to turn your back on your daughter for the way she is behaving. My youngest is in the hospital again, took all her medication and put a toaster in the tub with her.

She was in a mental hospital for 2 months and got kicked out last week for coming back from day passes at 5 a.m. drunk, not the first time.

Went got admitted to another hospital who made arrangements for her to go into a drug and alcholic centre, which she only stayed for 3 days and left. She had only been back at her home for 2 days when she did this.

This has been going on a regular basis. I think it is for attention. The doctor at the mental hospital told me there is nothing they can do for her unless she wants the help.

I am tired of getting phone calls all the time from the hospitals.

wow that thread i started is full, cool i feel accomplished

taaater

I didn't expect such a wonderful and caring response from you all. It helps alot to have all your input cause i was feeling alone and backed into a corner and felt like the bad guy. But now I know that I am not in the wrong to be worried

I have a very dear family friend who I care for very very much. They have been sober for a while and have recently mentioned that they miss drinking and the taste of beer. They swear that they will not go back to there old ways of being drunk all the time. And that they are not like all the other alcoholics and can stop at one beer and only drink on "special occasions"(which to some people may be everynight !! ) and they totally have control over their addiction. From my experience w/ having other family members in that situation I know that is not what is gonna happen. Am I just blowing things out of proportion or do I have a right to be concerned. I really don't know how to make this person understand. Anyone have any advice???

I appreciate your "novel" Tater and thank you. I am asking everyones opinion. Habit and addiction are two different things in a way.

Thanks MF and you are so right. And I hope that all hope isn't lost

There is NO such thing as an occasional drink for a recovering alcoholic. Be very concerned and try to help your friend. My mother was an alcoholic and died from it. If you are an addict you must NEVER touch it again be it alcohol, drugs or cigarettes. If they had any form of control they would never have become an addict.

Good luck with that one
