We are vacationing in Florida, AD daughter is home in PA. She just texted that her support hearing earlier today with her baby Daddy did not go well for her and is continued (yet again!!! ) AND.......that she just got home from a meeting entitled Life or Death. Took me 5 textes to understand that it meant an AA meeting. I texted back and told her how much we love her and are proud of her. Said prayers of thanksgiving and trying not to project what comes next.....but in the mean time..............thanks to all of you out there....I get so much from all of your posts....have to sign off, crying too much...only to hope she is seeing the light...
I know how much it hurts to see your child with such a terrible disease. Getting that text that she went to AA and went on her own accord gives me strength that my son too might find his way into the rooms.
Love her, let go and pray for her that she will continue towards a better life.
I'm feel good inside for you....

Good news. The hardest step for me was getting into the 1st meeting. That was the biggest part of the surrender for me. After that I just did what the folks in AA told me and it worked. Hope it works the same for her.
I like David's take on Al-Anon because I can agree from my own experience...Put her in HP's hands and don't look over your shoulder to see how HP is doing with her and if she is listening. I will also pray that her pain will encourage her to stay in the meeting rooms of AA and allow herself to be loved back into sobriety. Praying for her and you and the family...((((hugs))))
