Hi Runi glad to see you posting here. Alanon literature suggests that we increase our meetings, remember Step 1,2 and 3 offer to talk, if the person wants . Keep an open mind and leave some literature about. The Just for Today book mark is perfect . Sending positive thoughts your way

She will have a recovery set from the program she is in that she should be carrying out and I would ask them for it so that it can be out in the open in the house. It is her responsibility to get and stay clean and sober and not the rest of the house to enable her wants and needs although I know the reality of that myself. If you are willing the addict/alcoholic can keep you working fulltime. Getting her around recovering people is important...literature, meetings, sponsorship, events will make the situation easier for the rest of the house.
I use to counsel adolescent alcoholics and addicts and they are a trip to say the least. Keep up your program daily is best practice and keep coming back here also. (((hugs)))
