(((Lo))))

I'm so sorry you are going through this, but I think you are doing the right thing.

Please remember, that we A's make a choice to use...whether it's our DOC or something else. She may TELL you that kicking her out is going to make her go back to using, but I can assure you that's not true. If she wants to numb herself out, she will use anything as an excuse until she accepts the fact that she's an addict.

You absolutely have the right to make the rules in your house and enforce them. It's not like you haven't given her a chance, because you have.

Most of us addicts only learn lessons the hard way...for some of us it takes a while.

She's going to do what she's going to do....no matter what you do, so sticking to your boundaries and taking care of you is the best thing you can do.

I know this has to be hard on you, but take it from this RA....you're doing the right thing.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
