Patch, I live on these messages of hope. Right now I don't recognize the person my daughter has become. It is hard to remember the good times before addiction. When I read posts like yours I know that somewhere inside the addict is my daughter. She was not perfect and she may never be the same person she was, but I know that there is a better person inside of her. I am so happy that you have your daughter back and that she is showing you the love she has for you. Hugs, Marle
