I'm sorry she's relapsed, but I'm glad she is getting help.
It took me a long time before I could accept that I wasn't "normal"; I'm an addict. I fought that idea quite hard. Even when I knew it intellectually, it didn't register in my heart and my gut for a while.
We A's all get to the point of acceptance in our own way and time, but I know, for me, a big part of my finding acceptance was the consequences. It finally got to the point to where using = bad consequences, so I just stayed in recovery.
I hope that she finds acceptance and learns that in recovery, we can be "normal", we just don't use.
Hugs and prayers!
Amy
