Welcome!

Since you have found Al Anon are your duaghters open to Al Ateen? Just keeping the lines of communication open between you and them should tell you alot about where they are at emotionally.

MG's post above is a great one...I, too, believe that we shouldn't rush to force a solution. If we do we may end up waffling or regretting what we have done and that only adds to the pain. The answers will naturally unfold...if you be quiet and listen to what your heart is telling you.

I have a friend who has chronic pain and I can't imagine anything much worse...and after becoming addicted to pain meds and alcohol he is now sober and in a program, and recently with intense Physical Therapy he is becoming more active and is feeling better painwise, too. So the possiblity is out there.

Keep coming back..we have a wonderful support system here!
