That confuses me too and it is not the first time that I have heard that addicts don't need to be let to hit bottom. If you watch the TV series Intervention they also mention that. But if the addict refuses to go to treatment on the show, the interventionist advises the friends and family to let the addict know that they are done with them. I know with my daughter that she will have to hit some kind of a bottom because my help has not helped and has only served to drive a deeper wedge between us. I think the program should have gotten more into the specifics of how not to let them hit bottom rather than just to make a blanket statement like that. I hate it when anyone assumes that they know what is best for us or for our addicts. Show me the proof, don't just make the statement. That is my opinion. Also, I would like to have that kind of money where I could continue to drag my addict to rehab after rehab, but in the real world that is not always possible. Marle
