I'll tell you what it took for me. I had become so enmeshed in my oldest daughter's addictions that I was standing on the cliff getting ready to relapse myself.
I also remembered that my parents almost loved me to death in my addictions, and I was not going to do that to my daughter. I wasn't going to stand in the way of her hitting a bottom.
It was at that moment that I realized that no one, not even my daughter, was worth throwing my recovery away over.
Yes, I did have some struggles with denial after that, but nothing like before.
Today I have completely let go and let God have her
