My heart can't take too much more right now. We've been having issues with DD lately and it came to a head last night. She was at a party (with our knowledge) and we took the opportunity to go snooping because both of us have suspected that she wasn't being completely honest when she said "No, I'm not using/drinking." Found several things including three pretty little green tablets.

She got home in time, but this morning we woke up and found her boyfriend on the couch. He'd driven her home because she was drunk. I thank God for that, that in spite of it she had enough brain cells working that told her it wasn't safe to drive.

We had an intervention this morning, then went to talk to her boss. Tomorrow I will take her to our doctor for a medical leave note, and Tuesday I am taking her to a treatment center. We gave her two choices: leave today or go into treatment. Found out later she was going to leave until she found out that she would not be able to take the car. Hubs told her that if she wants to leave we can transfer the title within a week. My heart almost stopped but she immediately said "No, I can't go on like this anymore."

It's the same treatment center I went to. How ironic would it be if she got the same counselor?

My prayers are with you and your family. I am proud of you for making a very difficult decision and seeing it through. Hopefully she will get the help she needs.

((Tazzi)) Thank you for sharing your story. My heart truly goes out to you. I am also in recovery and the hardest thing I've ever had to do is watch my 23 y/o son follow my (bad) example. He is still practicing his addictions and I know that there is nothing else I can do for him but pray. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your daughter, and your entire family.

I give you credit for what you did. My mother is an emotional mess right now because of some family issues. She has been an alcoholic for 20+ years, and over the last 10 years addicted to rx drugs. My sister and I are considering doing an intervention too. Good luck and I will say a prayer.

My very best to you, DD, and your entire family.

she will soon realize everyone who is pulling for her.

Sorry you are going through this but I am sure your daughter really appreciates this although probably doesn't feel like it at the moment
